I would have to think that if it came to pass where it was legal for
just about everybody to be walking around with loaded guns, that big
switch blades, machetes, blackjacks, brass knucks and all sorts of
other weapons of destruction would also be legal. After all, guns are
more lethal and dangerous than those others, so if guns become okay to
pack around, why not less lethal devices? Otherwise, only allowing
legal gun toting would be nothing but a sop to the gun lobby and
enthusiasts. Why not let the individual choose their own WMD? Who
would want government making such decisions for you?
Think about arriving in a town where everybody is armed to the teeth.
What do you think about such a place?
The word "lawless" comes to mind.
Far from civilization.
Perhaps you are in one of the tribal territories of Pakistan?
Afghanistan? A town in the middle of the Amazon?
The "Wind West?"
Certainly not a place where one would want to raise a family.
The gun nuts want to turn the clock back on civilization. Take us back
to a time when life was short, brutal, and ugly.
No I won't go along with that.
