Sound's an aweful lot like "we should take away all guns because they they could be used to shoot someone".
Nope. People don't want guns readily available to anyone for the same reason you don't want nukes readily available to anyone. Nukes are an "arm", therefore, under the OC.org extremist logic,we should have a right to keep and to bear them, correct? If you trust ANYONE with a gun, why don't you trust anyone with a nuke? I guess it's all a matter of degree and you have to take it to that extreme degree to expose the hypocrisy of the whole thing. Letting any retard own and carry a gun wherever they want isn't likely to effect you (that it might effect others doesn't matter to you, I'm learning that more and more), so you're ok with that degree of"trading safety for freedom", but letting any old idiot own a nuclear bomb has a significant chance of effecting you, so that's where you draw the risk/reward freedom line.
