Hmm...let's review the exchange.
Mulder: I don't, which is why I'm armed most of the time.cajungirl: Why am I not surprised you are armed all the time? I am not being fractious, I am not saying anything to inflame anyone, just asking.
Mulder: I don't know. Maybe you believe that us peasants are incapable of defending ourselves, and only the gov't can do so?
cajungirl: Hon, do tell how your firearm would have helped anyone in that building on 911. And how is it going to stop an anthrax attack. You are delusional if you think that your defense can be what you need in this kind of war. Why, our fully armed young men are kgetting blown up as we speak. What have you done for the Republic other than try to deconstruct it?
Your "excellent" comprehension skille have failed you. Better have another look.
