Trust Government and Trust the Gun

Posted by Benjamin On December - 5 - 2008

The reason you should own a gun, if you are lucky enough to live in a country that gives you this right is that as a citizen if you choose to not own a gun you are in essence giving the keys of your protection fully into the hands of the government. Do you think the government will always be benevolent and nice, incapable of wrong doing? The reader should be aware that Democracy’s are fragile things and have been manipulated by evil men.  Just ask the Jews in the 1930’s how Germany’s democratically elected government protected them. Still, despite their fragility, I would argue that a Democracy whether it be armed or unarmed is the best protection mankind has devised to thwart the plans of evil men.  I do see throughout history though good unarmed men losing to armed evil men every time, so why be unarmed, own a gun…
