170. Why I applaud it.
It makes me ill, and that anybody would applaud these people boggles the mind

I applaud it because it is the ultimate message of defiance short of actual violence. Our founders wanted us to be armed so that we could resist oppression. These people are rattling their sabers as a reminder of that ability that the people possess. It is a valid warning, and one that all should heed. Like it or not, you cannot change the course of a country too rapidly or you risk tearing it apart.

If I'm an anti-gun nut it's because when one person is killed hunting here in Maine I don't believe it's "worth it" so that others might have their sport.

Aside from the fact that the right to keep and bear arms has nothing to do with sport, I'm curious as to what other sports would you see outlawed because someone died participating in them?
