The liberal ethic is becoming more and more irrelevant, as the decline of the West accelerates.
Anyone can sense it. You can feel it in the air. The world is becoming far more dangerous that it has been in decades. Liberalism could survive world wars, because those wars were temporary; each had a beginning, a middle and an end. but with the coming twilight of civilizations, comes the promise of eternal war--eternal night.
Gun control made sense in the TV-sitcom days of the 1990s. But liberal values are becoming suicidal ones in the world that's being born. Political rights are merely tools for social sabotage. Implements for de-constructing the last of the West's institutions: The State, the Church, the University. the Library.
In a world of safe streets and job security, trusting your fellow citizens was completely rational. Now it simply marks you as some militant's next target of opportunity.
The Democratic National Convention is a celebration of a doomed world-view; one that was built on the assumptions of the European Enlightenment, created by the waspy ruminations of gentlemen-philosophers, who dreamed up political rights over so many cups of tea.
The sun of the enlightenment has already set. Even now its last golden glow is fading in the west, as the first night-breeze begins to blow. There's scent wafting on the breeze; it's the stench of burning bodies, and the echo of explosions as the night of un-reason sweeps westward over the world. And the dream of the Liberal Enlightenment begins to gutter and smoke, like a fire that's about to blow out in a dank breeze.
Then darkness falls.

If you loved me and everyone so much then why would you want to strip away ones defense? Be it guns, knives whatever? They are all for defense. So in your stupid opinion is that anyone who wants to defend themselves is a coward?

Don't let fear dictate your life. Love your neighbor. Help a stranger.
Ever read or seen the movie H.G.Well's "The Time machine"?

No, just guns. Guns are for cowards.

I never advocated for taking your rights away. I just said you're a coward if you need one.

Tell that to the 120 lbs women who defends herself with her gun from a 200 lbs rapist.
Tell that to the elderly man or woman who can't physically compete with young and strong thugs.
Tell that to the many victims of home invasions who have had to defend themselves with guns to prevent being killed by multiple attackers.
All those people are cowards for needing a gun eh?
