You clearly aren't thinking rationally on this topic, since you're contradicting yourself.  You insinuated that my history wasn't true.  Why would you have to believe I was lying rather than agree that being armed isn't dangerous?  You also insinuated that strapping responsible people means that lunatics would be strapped too.  You're being silly.

I note you degraded what I did say to fit into the gungrabber narrative.  I don't advocate just handing out guns.  I advocate what I did, which is to train people to use guns from an early age.

You worry about lunatics, but that is a strawman.  Lunatics don't just suddenly appear.  They've been lived with all their lives, and the people that deal with them daily don't just hand them guns.  Except for the FBI, which has been caught over and over again preying on mentally challenged people in their efforts to create terrorists.  Again, you've been unconsciously adopting propaganda rather than actually considering the matter.

Here's the bald truth: humanity rules itself, and always has.  Folks want to delegate the dirty work of integrity and security to others so they can just lay back, read magazines and eat bon bons, but that's neither responsible nor safe.

Human beings maintain their own security, and those as delegate it to others become dependents on those others.  Don't be a dependent.  Be a sovereign.

It's your destiny.

Edit:  you raise the strawman argument that if we were armed we'd just start murdering people we don't like.  Did that happen?  Not much, because most people aren't homocidal maniacs.  Are you a homocidal maniac?  Would you just shoot people you didn't like?

You clearly haven't been trained how to use firearms, or you'd know damn well that you wouldn't.  If you would, why the hell should I care what a homocidal maniac thinks?  Think about these things and learn about them before you make declarative statements and you'll be able to be taken seriously.
