Can we never move beyond an armed and deadly conflict? Are we not an advanced civilization with critical thinking skills? I would hope we could solve our issues with the facts and rationality. But alas, we are in the mess we are in now. Military's should be downsized worldwide and we need a worldwide peace effort. Instead of slaughtering countries, lets help them. Instead of spreading delusion spread education. Imagine if only 1/2 of the military budget was for space exploration/mass solar arrays/geothermal/fusion research... just imagine!
But on topic, yes I think the populace should be allowed to be armed... is that going to mean a shit if a civil war ever happens, I doubt it. What about thermal imaging? I guess caves are the best bet, but what about bunker busters? I hate to even fathom that the US military could turn on its own people. Isn't that sort of the opposite job of the military, if the people are unhappy the government is not doing it's job and so the government should change, not the people. For the people... by the people, ever heard of that?
Guns are something I wish they could de-invent.
