What I meant was you can't count on a good guy with a gun. Look at Drama's situation in Libya. The assholes with guns think they're the good guys with guns. Good thing we live in america where you don't have to worry much about getting killed over your religious or political beliefs. But that can easily change over the course of a few decades. That's why I'm pro 2nd amendment. It's within your natural rights to have the means to defend yourself. If you are being prosecuted, you have a right to an attorney. If somebody wants to kill you, you have a right to arm yourself.
OK, but can you see how I might not have gotten your meaning?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Well I was just throwing the strawman under the bus with hyperbole. Hope you don't mind. I like hyperbole so much I converted to it as my official religious view.

Okay...all these people who claim to have been "cleaning their gun" - I call massive bullshit. The country would be filled to brimming with pristine barrels, and in my experience, it is not. Try "I was dicking around with my gun like an ass" - we already think you're dumb..you shot your finger off. Fibbing about how it happened won't change that.
Just my two cents.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
