How can you say that? What would the presence/absence of guns have to
do with the social situation. There are no guarantees that government
will not "turn bad". What I'm saying is that IF the social situation
WERE to turn bad, you might suddenly realie that the freedom to own a
firearm for your own personal protection may not have been such a bad
idea afterall.
