...but you aren't protecting a minority, you're putting lethal things into the hands of masses when it is proven more and more as time goes on that the masses are not responsible.

No offense but I'm glad that you don't have any power. The people need weapons to be able to resist their government if the need ever arises.

Take this nonsense elsewhere.  The time of civil war in first world countries like the US is long gone.

Weren't Germany and Italy developed nations when the fascists seized power? Want a more recent example, how about Yugoslavia? Sorry but saying "not here, not now" doesn't make the problem go away. No offense but your belief that the public should disarm and hand all power over to an increasingly corrupt government is absolutely ludicrous.

When I said take the nonsense elsewhere, I didn't mean post more of it.  Unless your last post was a joke?  In which case, haha, good one.

Sorry but if you believe that American citizens have nothing to fear from their government and that gun prohibition would be either possible to implement, or a viable solution to violent crime than you are as naive as a small child. What more can I say? Gun prohibition would be impossible to implement, there is no denying that. Gun prohibition would do little if anything to prevent violent crime and I challenge you to prove otherwise. Finally, how can you fail to see that the American people are being robbed of their liberties by those who would have them enslaved? Do you think that the powers that be are going to reverse course and everything is going to get better? I brought up Yugoslavia because that republic was stable until they developed crushing debt which set off a whole host of economic issues that exacerbated their long-standing racial and nationalist tensions. How about contributing something to the discussion by actually rebutting my points instead of posting such drivel as that's "nonsense / a joke". Sorry but this isn't some magical ideal world and America isn't immune to the problems that other nations have faced over the years. The American people have something to fear in their government and they are the only ones capable of / willing to defend themselves and firearms are their only means to do so.
