They forgot we also are friends with Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter, we eat puppies, and we don't put the toilet seat down.

Actually the reason we need guns is because we side against the devil in whatever form he puts himself in and sometimes it takes a gun to get rid of that devil.

A question for the nancies at USA Today: how did a gun come to be known as "the great equalizer?"

To answer this, let's start with a bit of history lesson.  Back in the day, large, imposing, muscled men took what they wanted from others through force and a sword or an axe or a bludgeon.  So, if one of these lawless brutes wanted your stuff--your woman, your food, your shelter--you had to stand up to them with an equal weapon and with equal physical strength; face to face.  Back then, might made right.

Fast forward to today--after the invention of the Magnificent Gun.  A frail grandmother with a well placed round from a Smith and Wesson pulled from her purse is plenty strong enough to protect the old homestead from anyone with evil intent, wouldn't you say?  Blessed are the righteous for they shall triumph.

An armed society is a polite society.  End of lesson.

Now that is pithy enough to warrant a bumper sticker!

Bastiat had it right when he defined "law" as being "the collective organization of the individual right to lawful defense." It was the fact that life, liberty and property existed that prompted man to create laws. "The law is the organization of the natural right of lawful defense. It is the substitution of a common force for individual forces."

He was even more correct when he commented that the law had been perverted to a degree that it has placed the collective force at the disposal of an unscrupulous minority (public servants), who tend use it to extend their power by using the person, liberty, and property of others for their own gain.

To wit, per Bastiat, where law was created to act in our self-defense, and protect our property from plunder, law has now converted plunder into a right (taxes) in order to protect plunder, and made lawful self-defense a crime, in order to punish lawful self-defense (George Zimmerman).
