I'm curious as to how owning the guns we do equates to "liberty." Not Dylan's argument I know, but you hear that all the time: we have "liberty" because we can own a sh*t-ton of arms privately.

How is that "liberty," when we have so many mass shootings, more people are killed by guns than by terrorists, in certain parts of Chicago people can't go out at night for fear of being shot and the gun lobby pounds us daily with the message that when we leave the house, unless we're armed, we're not safe. Hell even when in the house.

Somehow this is sold to us as the beauty of "freedom." All allegedly on the idea that this allegedly protects us from tyranny, as if violence is necessary to overthrow the U.S. gov't and gun ownership is the only thing stopping that.

Isn't it time we stopped pretending?

It's a tradeoff I guess. I'd rather fight the harm that actually is ocurring now then worry about our inability to fight the tyranniez down the road (which we all know will never actually happen obviously).
