Re: Fear of Government
This whole "protection from government" thing is perplexing to me.
​
I must say, I find it hilarious It does tend to destroy the credibility of any arguments in its vicinity.
​
In terms of gun control, anyone who thinks the unwashed masses of Great Britain should have guns at their disposal needs their head examining. At least the gun toting criminals know how to use them

Re: Fear of Government
The 2nd Amendment was written in an age when a citizen militia could both provide for the common defense and resist an oppressive government.

Re: So why should I carry\have a gun?
I bet the Virginia Tech survivors can see many reasons why they should have been carrying a gun.

Maybe, but if they did, they would be mighty short of lecturers...
