[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2901295, member: 109862"] Honestly that’s what makes me the most angry at politicians, in any nation, restricting the common folks from being able to arm and defend themselves and deter would-be aggressors simply BY VIRTUE OF BEING ARMED: these politicians are invariably protected by VERY armed and ready men. So it’s just a matter of whose life is more important and worthy of defence then. Most people won’t have bodyguards. And the police are hardly an omnipresent saviour to all in need of protection: I respect our police officers and am not bashing them in any way! But they’re human too and you can’t (and shouldn’t!) have one on every single block just waiting for something bad to happen. I’ve been around some violent things (not gun related but violence nonetheless, scary) - I know what response times are. It’s not acceptable to disarm and disable people and tell them to just leave their safety in the hands of law enforcement. But that’s what these very well protected politicians will say. To quote George Orwell’s “animal farm” “All animals are equal….but some animals are more equal than others.” 🙁 [/QUOTE]
