    Yup. The guns aren’t there for when a cop is knocking on your door. The guns are there for when a cop is raping your wife.

    And if people think that latter scenario unrealistic, just look at history. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, and the reason we have a government-recognize right to guns is to prevent that absolute power from existing as a state of affairs.

    It’s okay if the government has the majority of the power. It’s okay if the government has relative power. The guns are here to prevent the government from having absolute power. That’s the kind of scenario where the women are getting raped by the men in uniform, while the men who arent in uniform either watch helplessly or get tortured to death for trying to intervene.

      Yes, a common scenario that everyone experiences at least once or twice, thereby justifying a huge armory of guns.

      Better to look at statistics. How often has that scenario actually played out?
