>Why? In a civilized world it is not required. Ergo, to support it, you must believe that we are not as civilized as we should or could be. This bothers me.< It bothers me too. But I think there is a strong ostrich urge to think of our current society as "civilized". Every time there is a burglary or armed robbery - that concept is made a lie. Until violent crime is truly an aberration - I contend that we are as civilized as we make ourselves. And removing the right to carry a gun in such an environment is a disservice. Ours is NOT a civilized society ... so we must defend our right to self-defense until the NEED for self-defense becomes a thing of the past. And that won't happen in my lifetime.
