“Would you trust citizens to defend themselves with rocket launchers, tanks, or nuclear weapons? Then why should we trust them with guns?”
My opinion/response to that is, rocket launchers, tanks, and nuclear weapons are designed to kill a whole lot of people all at once. It is almost impossible to kill just one assailant, or one small group of assailants, with these weapons. Of course you could just drive a tank around, so that may not quite apply, but anyway. . .
I have a right to bear arms, to defend myself/family/property, but I don’t have a right to do a mass indiscriminate killing.
Anyway, that’s how I see it.
I whole heartedly agree.
