[Micah] Would you own any of these weapons, if you could? If yes, please explain why. If no - please explain why you think others would want too?
[Arlo] In the same post you ignore my question. I reask. Do you favor allowing any and all military grade weapons, from tanks to sidewinder missiles, to be sold freely to civilians? Do you draw no line? What about nuclear weapons? To answer your question, no I would not own any of these weapons. Reason, I would not trust myself with them. And, no, Micah, I would not trust you with a key to a nuclear arsenal either. Moreso, I can't think of a single benefit that would arise from my arming my home with surface to air missile batteries and a few tomahawk launchers. I trust our military to protect us from threats of that caliber. Its why we fund a military. Its why its a volunteer force. Would you feel safer in a world where anyone could stop off at BoxMart, pick up a few sidewinders, and drive home in a loaded Abrams tank? You think the show COPS is wild now... But let me ask again. Do you draw a line? Nuclear weapons? What tonnage bomb? 500 tons? 10 tons? Surface to air missiles? Flamethrowers? Or no line at all... let everyone have a nuclear bomb and see where we go from there?
