My security isn't threatened and I don't feel a need to arm myself. We
enjoy the highest rate of suicide and murder via firearms in the

The spectacle of one who portrays himself as enlightened and then
proceeds to blame inanimate objects for the country's ills rather than
those who animate the inanimate is a pathetic object lesson of a fool
who thinks himself wise.

The real goal is to disarm those who politically, morally, or
intellectually disagree with you, for you are threatened by them. And
that includes those whom you disparagingly refer to as 'peasants'.

Every other reason given is a sham in the hope that some 'peasant' will
believe you.
