I'm basically saying people around here have gladly given up their jobs, their health, their families, and other things due in no small part to (maybe I'm just being a bit too biased here) politicians who have comforted them by assuring they will protect their rights to own guns that they can use to defend themselves against those who would do them harm or take things from them.

Again, I'm just a bit pessimistic I guess but it seems like you can just take everything a man has as long as you can convince him you'll protect his right to shoot people who try to take everything he has.  Guns have made us defenseless in a sense that we will let the powers that be walk all over us as long as we have the perception that we can defend ourselves from people who will do us harm...well, that aren't them.

We need guns because everything goin' to hell in this country.  I feel like we spend too much time thinking that defending ourselves from those who would do us harm involves the simplistic notion of seeing an obvious BAD GUY and opening fire.
