why the gun is civilization.

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 force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

The people that use violence to get what they want are greedy and evil.
We typically call them democrats and republicans.

Uh, I don't know about you, but the last time I read a thread like this, the guy was asked to seek help. It was obvious that he didn't because he did something real bad.
I have to totally disagree with your views on the subject of disarming everyone. There will always be: knives, spears, sticks, forks, glass, bombs, vehicles, steel, shovels, any gardening tool, etc...etc. The old clich, guns don't kill people, well you know....If you are not refering to disarming everyone then please make that clear, but that is what I took from your thread.
I am all for peace, but I realize that will never happen. Man kind is violent in nature for the most part.edit on 16-1-2011 by liejunkie01 because: (no reason given)

The nature of the State dictates that violence is at the root of everything it does. When something is good, it does not require the use of violence to impose upon the public. I can not think of one thing that is good for the public that requires violence to impose.
