Cites that don’t appeal to bygone history, please.

Those that don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

And those that believe in dogma to the exclusion of rational thought are brain
washed.
Appealing to history to keep things the same as they were is not the same as
learning from history in order to make oneself better. Saying you need guns in
your homes in the 21st century because your forefathers needed guns in their
homes the 18th century is ludicrous. But you mentioned that below.
Give arguements for having a gun in your house today. I’ve refuted every one.
The rhetoric that politicians do the will of ‘the people’ *only* because they
risk being shot is, again, ludicrous. Nixon wasn’t worried about being shot
when he stepped down. Every 4 years there are votes and seats change--cogress
people and senators leave due to the power of the vote, not the power of a gun.
Ask *any* of them why they left their seats when they were voted out. As soon
as the gun owner realizes all his or her flawed reasons for keeping a gun in
their homes are just that--flawed, absurd reasons--then there will be a chance
for a better, safer society.
And 25,000 folks a year won’t have to die just so the gun owners can have their
false security.
