Taking a swipe at the "anti's"

[Roadkill]

I think I understand them. Its my theory of the great leveling of a society. No one person or group may posess power over the others unless it is granted by the whole. The government may posess firearms because their use is granted to protect society as a whole. Individuals may not because the individual would have the same power as the government and therefore power over individuals that was not granted by those individuals. Everyone should be equally protected or equally unprotected. No one has an advantage. They choose not to own a firearm so they cannot allow anyone else to have one because it would put them at a disadvantage.
Problem is the theory will not work because some won't go along with it and won't play by the rules. Can't protect your self? Good. I'll take your stuff, rape your wife/daughter/mother/dog
and you can whine for help. But that is allowable because society is safe and the criminal just needs to be understood. These folks can't help it. Try to take my stuff - I'll stop you. Keep on and I'll blow your ass away. But to them this puts society as a whole at risk because I have power to protect myself and they can't allow it.
