Do you extend the same tolerance for bearing arms to the imans in the mosques in Falluja?

Yes, I guess I do.

I hope you aren't attempting to confuse the issue here. I am talking about a right to self defense, and you seem to be implying a right to use arms offensively.

I'm not saying that at all. I believe that every human being has the right to self defense. Be they Priests, Imams, big time politicians or somebody living in a tenement who scrapes together enough to buy a used Highpoint 9mm.

The alternative is to allow that somebody can say one can't defend themselves. If I believe somebody can take that basic fundamental human right from anyone, I then admit the same (or others) have the right to take it from me, or you.

I might disagree, but I won't fault you. Your beliefs are internally consistent and you are not a hypocrite. You've thought through your position. No flames from me. Have a good evening.
