I have been making a variation of this point for maybe seven or eight years now. I was for most of my life in favor of gun control, of limits, but I changed my mind. Part of the reason is because of a multi year running debate we had at A2K, the "gun nuts" as they were called made the better arguments, but also I had by then lost all faith in my governments (national/state/local), I started to look at a well armed citizenry as a protective force. It sucks that as America breaks down more and more people want to murder to hurt to collective, but the government is a much bigger threat to me. Also, I decided that although I am not in favor of suicide, and while suicide greatly harms the collective, trying to prevent suicide is not just cause for grabbing guns.
I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.
DARK AGES SUCK!
Will Quid use this quote in one of his speeches? He's already quoted Mao a couple of times.
"It [the draft] is duty rather than slavery. I part with the author on the caviler idea that individual freedom (whatever that may be to the person) leads to nirvana, anyone older that 12 knows that is BS."

And I, a registered Democrat and firearms owner, continue to not give a shit, either way.
There are far more pressing items on the agenda.
How about red state legislature vote suppression?
That's a huge problem.
