yeah. i deleted my post because my position is complicated. part of me says that society is advanced enough that in some places, guns are not necessary & the harm to the public outweighs their benefit. But this is too simple, as history shows life is mostly conflict & survival, not prosperity. One must not be complacent & assume the benefits of first world living will go on indefinitely. all it takes is a multi-week power outage to create a state of anarchy.
