Re: the dark knight |
Call it whatever you want--the process is the same: how do I reduce risks of mortality to family? In a civilized society, we already did the experiments you two are talking "around". Works better to be selective.
The ave person simply cannot do what you find "fun" (face it, that is the reason you do it--you enjoy physical fitness, empowerment, etc., etc.; all in a good way, trust me--I do too; I own more than a dozen guns...my .44 is BIG, so in case you think that's the issue, it is NOT. I am HUGE on gun ownership--this is all ACADEMIC discussion, which I love to do, right?).
But Ring hits the nail on the head: the Wild West WAS precisely the example you articulate--it turned out to be much safer NOT to arm EVERYONE but to arm a few, like you, that know what they are doing...period.
Right? That's my only pt in all this...
