Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Father and son dead, 2 wounded after shootout at gun shop [View all]The police, if we acccept them as the modern day equivalent of a "well regulated militia", can use guns to defend society.
"The militia" is legally defined. Your 'opinion' has no bearing on that, any more than it has the ability to make reality disappear.
The rest of you can turn them in to the police. 
Denying reality again. Your loss. People have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms. Not 'the privilege'.
And we do not depend on your approval to exercise that right, nor will we.
If this bothers you, I suggest retreating back into your own little world where reality can not intrude, because its not going to change.
People who value their rights, and greatly outnumber you anti-gun folks at the polls, will not allow it.
