Quote:Why were these municipalities, so intimate with the need for firearms in a hostile country, so adamant that those arms not be permitted in the public square?
Because they were also intimately familiar with stupid, flawed human beings, the stresses to which said humans are subject and the need to separate those humans from machines which are too powerful and deadly to be allowed to tempt said humans in need of help settling every day beefs.
They knew guns. They knew people. And they knew that, to build and maintain a civilized society where families and businesses can grow and prosper, it's probably a good idea to limit access to these wondrous and terrible machines.
