but again - right now, I would argue, our political system, for all its shortcomings, is still governed by the rule of law, even when the laws are a little iffy. and I would further argue, there is NO chance of the U.S. military and law enforcement being used to perpetrate anything on the scale of genocide. There is enough diversity of thought and political affiliation to prevent them from becoming that sort of organization. That is very very much not true in much of the world, but it is here. I would still argue that there should be public gun ownership and that it does help ensure a free america - but it does not ensure it so singlehandedly that we can't afford to regulate gun ownership to ensure public safety, does it? I think we would almost all argue that there should be SOME sort of limit - some sort of process to keep from selling, say, felons, or schizophrenics, or minors weapons, at least - and I argue, the more dangerous the weapon, the more powerful the weapon, the more should be done not just to make sure that you're a safe person to own it, but that you can also own it safely.
