Denying the people's right to self defense is the ultimate human rights violation.
Forcing people to leave their security in the hands of a governing body is not only preposterous, but out right criminal. It is impossible for a government to protect their citizens 24/7; a police officer takes minutes (after a phone call has been made, if it ever was) to get to the scene of a crime.
If the citizen of a country (that has forcefully disarmed it's citizens by means of confiscation or threat of criminal charges), gets harmed in a situation where the use of an outlawed weapon could have protected them, THEN the governing body of that country should be held accountable and compensate the individual or their family for failure to effectively prevent or stop the crime from being committed.
We all they would never do that, but it shows just how domesticated we have become.
EVERY MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO A FIREARM, NO EXCEPTIONS
Some might claim that the safety of the majority is at greater risk if people are allowed to carry weapons, the problem with that claim is that they are assuming that the police is able to protect them now, when its been stated earlier that THEY CAN'T.
Also a criminal doesn't care about breaking the law, they will be armed REGARDLESS.
***GUN CONTROL ONLY HURTS CIVILIANS NOT CRIMINALS***
An anti-gunner's fear does not stem from fear of guns, but from the idea of having to be responsible for their own safety like it should.
Also, its imporant that I point out that the muskets our forefathers used were state of the art at the time, but today they are no match for modern day machine guns. The people should always be allowed to be armed with whatever a military can own. If not, the people will be at a disadvantage against a tyrannical state.
These laws that place restrictions against certain weapons are a direct infringement and should be attacked or ignored, as well as those who demand a citizen has a "permit" (permission) to carry a gun.
