A couple of quotes that are terribly appropriate now esp for nfitz:
"A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity." -Sigmund Freud, General Introduction to Psychoanalysis (1952)
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes." - Thomas Jefferson, 1775.
People should not have to fear both the government and the criminal. It should be that the criminal fears both the people and the government.
"No man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." Thomas Jefferson.
Shooting is a dangerous sport. It can lead to self-esteem, good eye-hand co-ordination, independent thinking, responsible behaviour, intolerance of oppression, self-reliance and similar traits. These are all very dangerous to tyrannical, oppressive and controlling persons, organizations and governments.
Legalities, the rule of law, and customs, are all stopgaps simply waiting for the right person to bend and break. A rifle in the hands of a freeman is not an invisible barrier of any sort, but something quite concrete that acts as a clear barrier to the despot.
