[/quote] People don't realize that the veneer of civilization is very thin, and most of history documents man's violence against man One can either assume that mankind has changed, that we are now free from greed and violence, or that the same traits are still there, just below the surface Arms are an insurance policy against that underlying nature resurfacing. Given any breakdown in the rule of law, any rise in insanity due to financial stress or shortages, I can only think violent outbreaks will increase...just at a time that the local police may be cut or overburdened Wasn't there just a California city - I think San Bernadino - which told the locals basically they are their own first line of defense now because the city is bankrupt and the police force is being cut? What then, protect yourself with a slingshot or a box cutter? [/quote] Detroit...the off duty cops were passing out flyers warning people that they are at risk because of budget cuts and lack of police... [/quote]

Would you give up your rights to a GUN if you knew for certain that it would have saved those 20 Sandy Hook elementary school children?
If we could go back in time - and change the future - the only condition is: GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS TO GUNS.
Would you do it?
I say: No, no I wouldn't. And that would be a painful decision.
