As for Indy's point, I can understand why gun-rights people would get upset about it, but it's nonetheless a valid point. The argument offered by NRA hardliners is that gun ownership protects against the State's encroachment of civil liberties and freedom. Yet here we are all witnessing the corporate-state fleece the global population for their own enrichment, sniggering and rewarding themselves all the while as the global economy lays in shambles, and all the gun ownership in all of the States doesn't make even the least little difference. It's a fallacious argument in other words and I obviously don't believe that this applies to everyone who supports gun-rights in whatever form.
