Default Two parties

So, you advocate rule and domination by the strong then? For the
sake of argument, you now have a society in which all guns have been
eliminated and criminals have now moved to knives and sticks. That
eliminates ranged weapons since, if in your ideal society like Great
Britain, you've also gone after bows and crossbows. You now have a
society in which the strong criminal can overwhelm anyone who is
smaller and weaker than he is. Criminals tend to prey upon those they
view as weak, so now you have exposed the old and frail, the weak
and/or disabled, and those physically small to the predation of these
criminals and have provided no means for them to make the battle
equal.

Not the kind of society in which I care to live, thank-you.


Time for the reminder: God made men; Samuel Colt made men equal.
