Message | It seems the Horowitz Party is in favor of letting dangerous criminals own guns... |
Date | 22:27:18, March 15, 2011 CET | From | Rutanian Supremacist League | To | Debating the Gun Control Act |
Message | Criminals are not deterred from the law. They will purchase guns regardless of what the government does. The best the government can do is not deter law-abiding citizens from defending themselves. |

Message | I definitely agree criminals will break the law and acquire guns whether we put restrictions on them or not. But letting them freely buy guns isn't a good idea either, how is allowing more citizens to have guns going to make Rutania any safer? We have a police force for criminals, we don't need more guns. |

Message | Rutanians would not have to depend on the government to protect their families. They could just shoot the damned criminals themselves. |

Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
