I'm not in favor of taking all the guns away from a people.

I think your thinking that I think (ouch) guns are some sort of solution to crime, violence and oppression. I do not. By the same token, I also do not think that crime, violence and oppression would go away if there were NO guns either.

One way or another crime, violence and oppression WILL exist, and given that universal truth - I, as a good guy, would prefer to have comparable arms to the bad guy.

And if -I- kicked down your door you'd need more than an automatic assault rifle. -My- roundhouse kick gave Chuck Norris cancer.
