(25,699 posts)it's pretty clear that Logical is saying people should be well-armed. There's not a word about freedom of choice in that post, and since you have failed to explain how the hell you figure that (I presume you just thought throwing the word 'choice' in there would shut me up? Good librul, whozzagudlibrul have a biscuit!" I'm forced to conclude that you're just pretty much full of it on that.
I use quotations around "criminals" here because it's developed into a sort of vague term in gun culture. Sometimes it's shorthand for violent criminals. Other times it literally means all criminals. Often it's used as a synonym for "boogeyman" and there's no shiortage of peopel who get labeled "criminals" by people who think those persons just plain need to be shot.
It's sort of like how "liberal" is used in other right-wing forums on the internet. And yes, I quotation-mark "liberal" when i'm talking to those yokels, too.
As for what's wrong with being armed against criminals? I dunno, do you encounter so many in your daily life that you just can't imagine leaving your home unarmed? I suppose there's nothing wrong with it, but it does seem weird and paranoid. I mean there's nothing wrong with wrapping tinfoil around your head to keep the CIA from listening to your thoughts either, but people are going to give you odd looks when you're wearing it while sniffing cantaloupes at the produce section, y'know?
