Quote from ElanorR
Your logic does not make sense. Just because people in the 80's didn't need a computer doesn't mean they don't now either. The truth is, life then was pretty much inconvenient compared to now. Pretty much everything is computerized now. This includes education as well as occupations. A computer is indispensable for someone who is living in this era, and anyone who believes otherwise is deluding themselves(unless they WANT to live in some remote corner of the world and practice peace.)
Yes, computers dominate the world today, but as you said, life was
inconvenient before the arrival of computers.
But look at this side of the coin for computers: fraud, identity theft, porn, copyright infringements, on and on. Does this represent the majority of people who use a computer?
Now apply that argument to firearms; do most firearms owners go crazy when they own a gun? No, its the minority that makes the majority look bad.
Let's try this another way; it is my right to own firearms in the US, just as it is your right to not own one. Why does your right of not wanting to own one have to be imposed on me? Shouldn't it be a choice?
Put a loaded gun on the floor without touching it, and what will happen? Nothing, as it comes down to the person using it. Again, firearms isn't the problem; its the lack of education, morals, and training.
Quote from eblees
that is moronic how can people with handguns and rifles stand against the government which has drones, rpgs advanced weapons and training not to mention nukes
Even with all that high tech weaponry, why isn't the US dominating in Afghanistan or Iraq? Guerrilla warfare is an entirely different animal.
Using nukes? Ha. Who would you govern if you blow everyone away?
