Benjamin Franklin had expressed a most thoughtful opinion on this subject more than two hundred years ago. He said "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." See http://www.constitutionproject.org/ls/mission.htm Liberty and Security Initiative -- Mission Statement > In most civilysed countries a gun owner is classified: a criminal There are no civilized countries where the citizens are not allowed to own guns. Such citizens are called slaves and their masters are called dictators. There is no society of free men and women who do not have the right to own guns. People who would without reasonable and just cause deny to others this right while retaining it only unto themselves have criminal motives and intentions.
