Unfortunately, these people <a href="http://www.vcdl.org/new/raging.htm" rel="nofollow">live in fear</a>, whether it is fear of other people being armed, or the fear of themselves being armed... And, in reality, those are both the same fear, projected outwards on other people. And since they are living in fear, they would drag the rest of us down with them, and subject us to the same fate. Bugger that. Well, unfortunately, that kind of specious logic has all manner of weight with the kinds of people we are dealing with.

Ya see, you are not looking at this with the corrective lenses upon which you would understand that reason and rationale have been taken out of the equation of logic. Remember when they used to teach logic? Now that has been replaced with philosophy! So let us look at this through the philosophical lenses. Suppose there 100 people in the world and you were in charge. Suppose there is a terrible snowstorm, and everyone is freezing. Suppose you have to get them all out of there before they die, but one of them breaks their leg. The others are too weak to help you. What do you do? Do you make them all stay? Do you send them all on their way to safety or sure death? What does this have to do guns? Good question, so I will answer it. NOT ONE BLOODY THING! But then again, neither does philosophy! What a waste of money... ;) You’ve got it all wrong.
