[Michael2001]

How can there be ANY argument against Americans arming themselves to defend their wives and children from people WHOSE RELIGION DEMANDS THAT THEY KILL CHRISTIANS AND JEWS?

I don't know. Every argument made by the antis here has no place on this thread. The fact is that when the government cannot protect the populace, the citizens have a right to arm themselves. I can't believe there are freepers who won't support that.

The idea is not exactly a new one:

There exists a law, not written down anywhere, but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by instruction but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.

--Marcus Tulius Cicero, 106-53 BC
