30. My point is slightly different.

Edited on Thu May-29-08 08:59 PM by Kutjara

In brief, what I'm saying is:

We can't rely on the state to protect us. We can't protect ourselves individually (no matter how many guns we have.) The only way society can be safe is if people take an interest in each other and in their community. A decent society grows from a common interest in the common good. If we don't have that, it doesn't matter whether no one has guns or everyone does: we're still in big trouble.
