Marko has a really good post on what those who propose civilians be disarmed are really proposing.

“People who object to weapons aren’t abolishing violence, they’re begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically ‘right.’ Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work.”

I use this as a signature in a couple forums I frequent. Now I don’t always agree with L. Neil Smith but he’s saying essentially the same thing as Marko and this I agree with. Truth in different words from two people, but truth still.
