Try to take our guns and test how absolute it is.
BUMP
Self defense is an absolute. Firearms are only a means to assure that self-defense will be effective.
Firearms in one form or another have been the means of equalization between the physically more powerful and the otherwise relatively weaker members of any human community, when it comes down to a life-and-death struggle. Knives or special training in the use of hands and feet, or even whole body, in overcoming adversaries can be, and has been, highly effective, but only if the adversary is not more adept in their application.
Sometimes the mere display, and the determination to use a weapon, is enough to deter any further assault by the predator expecting to find only a victim.
Stop, or my mom will shoot.
The same old,tired flntlock argument could be used to limit freedom of the press to manually typeset hand cranked printing presses. The Founders didn’t foresee radio, TV, modern printing presses, cell phones,computers, and the internet,thus they have no free speech protection.
Yup. They’ll need to take the bullets first.
