Here's something to read and consider. Set to me by a friend:

The Gun Is Civilization
Written March 23, 2007 by Marko Kloos



Living in fear is a choice that he makes. A gun shouldn't be what's
required to eliminate that feeling.

I suppose that's one way to look at it. He could always "wish" the
bad guys away.

Mr. Kloos seems simple-minded to me.

"Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and
force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of
either convincing me via argument or forcing me to do your bidding under
threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two
categories, without exception."

People often help each other without resorting to convincing via
argument or convincing via force.

Oh goody. Examples please.
