Tired of the Guns vs Government liberal argument....
Posted: Fri May 03, 2013 7:03 am
Liberals as one of their "excuses" for why people don't need guns to defend themselves is:
"Citizens can't fight against the government, they have more powerful weapons, so it's "meaningless" for citizens to have guns also."
Well, there are several fallacies with this argument.
1. Have you ever looked around you, your city, your state, your nation? The "government" is SMALL in comparison to a nation of armed "individuals". Sure, they could do a lot of damage to the masses, but the masses and pockets would fight back, and would be able to win.
2. Government is made up of "citizens".... In a country that is actually still free, the people would be free minded and not controlled. Thus, there would be PLENTY of "defectors" from the government who would not only give intelligence, numbers, etc., but would give access to higher sophisticated weaponry. Not everyone in government is a liberal and would willingly and especially long term go along with evil, especially the military. Many of them would also fight back and join the resistance of citizens against tyranny.
3. The liberal argument also entirely ignores the very real possibility of "foreign" attacks. What about even Alien invasion? Improbable, but you never know.
4. There's another ignored factor. Natural disaster, be is space based or local based. People need to be allowed to protect their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
5. Finally..... Evil exists. As long as it exists, YOU have no moral nor intellectual right to restrict ANYONES (within reason) ability to protect themselves, family, and community.
Liberals, you don't get rid of evil when you get rid of guns, you only make the innocent defensless against evil. Evil needs to be eliminated in the HEARTS of men. And the very fact that YOU want to take away peoples ability to defend themselves, proves that we still have a very long way to go. Only truly evil people willingly remove a choice from a person that can mean either LIFE or DEATH. You may not like that frank fact, but it's a fact. It's who you are.... Trying to "save the children" is no excuse for you contributing to mass murder.
You may not want to "ban" people from climbing trees, or any other activity, but even that would be okay compared to what you do. Because the tree won't one day possibly come kill you, you have to go to it. But a man might one day come to kill you, or one of your future children, and grandchildren.
How many family's and survivors of past mass deaths, or innocents deaths WISH they had had the CHANCE..... to fight back? No body said it would be PERFECT??? Who said freedom was perfect? Humans are involved.... But, a CHANCE to make a difference in saving lives. You claim that's what YOU are trying to do, but you in fact do the exact opposite. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Hitler after all had good intentions. He wanted a "pure master race".... Strange, sounds like the gun controllers.... You want to FORCE "purity"....
