40. Hate to tell you this....
but the "right" people will ALWAYS have guns. Even if they didn't, they'd still be able to raise a lynch mob if they wanted to go after you. Would you be safer in a world where only the right has guns and where mob violence rules, or in a world where you have equal access to weapons that you can use to defend yourself?

I live literally next door to a crack house. If they can get and sell crack, they obviously don't give a shit about the law, be it the drug laws or the gun laws. Since crack isn't an indigenous product, they obviously can import stuff from overseas, too. If they can import cocaine, they can import illegal guns. I feel a LOT safer with an ultra-high capacity "assault" rifle in the house, complete with a 75 round ammunition drum on it. Could they "get me" if they wanted? Probably. But a lot of them would die trying, and it wouldn't be because I ran out of ammo or was changing magazines.
