Debate: Gun Control - should we have it?
Side: We need our guns

Weeel I'll be. I gues Imma redneeck. Yee haw! You ignorant peon. You poor fool! The second amendment is for defense against a tyrannical government. Our government, thankfully, is not. Let me give you some quotes from some of history's greatest minds."Tyranny derives from the oligarchy's mistrust of the people; hence they deprive them of arms, ill-treat the lower class, and keep them from residing in the capital. These are common to oligarchy and tyranny."Aristotle in Politics "The right of self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals."President James Monroe (November 16, 1818)"We may be tossed upon an ocean where we can see no land nor, perhaps, the sun and stars. But there is a chart and a compass for us to study, to consult, and to obey. The chart is the Constitution." Daniel Webster (1782-1852) American Statesman, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State under three (3) U.S. Presidents"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."Thomas Jefferson, letter to Archibald Stuart, Philadelphia, December 23, 1791"Quemadmoeum gladis nemeinum occidit,occidentis telum _est" ("A sword is never a killer, it's a tool in the killer's hands")Lucius Annaeus Seneca "the younger" ca. (4 BC - 65 AD)"There exists a law, not written down anywhere, but in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom or reading; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice; not by instruction but by natural intuition: I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right."Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC) Roman Orator and Statesman at the trial of T. Annius Milo in 52 BC”A free people ought to be armed.”~George Washington”Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth.”~George Washington”By calling attention to ‘a well regulated militia,’ ‘the security of the nation,’ and the right of each citizen ‘to keep and bear arms,’ our founding fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy… The Second Amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic civilian-military relationships in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of his country. For that reason I believe the Second Amendment will always be important.”~John F. Kennedy”The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers. Only the government-and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws.”~Edward Abbey”God grants Liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.”~Daniel Webster”To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”~George MasonI am sorry you feel that your country is not good enough for you. I truly am sorry for you.P.S.The 5.56 is disliked by our own soldiers. They say it is too weak. They want something better.
