to all the people who argue we need guns to protect againsta tyrannical govt.
Don’t the arguments that crazy nutjob killers don’t need guns to kill, and they would kill with other forms of mass death (ricin, fertilizer explosives) equally apply to citizens rising up against the govt?[/quote] Except for one little tiny problem.. well maybe not so tiny. Bombs, ricin are not targeted, they are by nature indiscriminate. They kill everyone in the vicinity and are useless in defense. They can only be used in retaliation, and not very well without a delivery system (ie. missile). Guns are targeted, and selective by nature (you have to aim them) — so I would have to say that your ‘equivalency’ is reaching a bit.
