Guns for law-abiding people are probably not bad

I think it's a little bit odd when people tell me that they need weapons because the government could become tyrannical and use the army on the people.

What are you going to do with your small weapon when they send in the tanks ? They have drones and planes. I doubt the people would win.

The best argument to carry weapons is to use the weapon in self defense towards a criminal.


Have you played battlefield ? You might be a soldier running around with a weapon but the tanks will blow you up and you can't hurt them back.

When I was about your age I was in the officers mess having a chat with the guys with lots of scrambled eggs on their hats. I asked them what they would do if the PM of Canada ordered them to take the streets of Alberta if there was an independence vote. The big boys all laughed and said, "I will tell the troops to stand down". It depends on the character of the guys and girls in the tanks.
