*shrug* Every group has the topics that always come up, and everybody has already discussed them thoroughly, but they keep coming up anyway. If we were British it would probably be what Parliament is up to.

I believe everyone who has a sound mind should be able to carry for self-defense, not only of himself / herself, but of his/her family and nation.

Lets play out a thought experiment. Its World War 2 and the Nazi's are mass murdering Jews again. The American troops at Normandy storm the beach, only this time, they have no guns.. how would it turn out?

Well as it turns out, we do know how it would turn out. Russia literally sent MILLIONS of men, around 20+ million to rush the Nazi Germans defensive live when operation Barbarrossa commenced. The outcome? 20+ million dead Russians and hardly a dent in German defenses.

This world is evil and evil people will always be here, that is why we have guns. Not to murder or kill, but to save lives from evil men and women.

I'm an Indian and there are only certain groups of people empowered to carry arms. Despite this, we have had enough of murders (knife/sword related) that I shudder to think of a scenario where we all carried guns. Australia gave its citizens the right to bear arms, until the Port Arthur massacre in 1996.

I think this thread is moot because every argument "for" guns can be countered with an argument "against" guns. Guess the outcome for this thread? Neither side is convinced to change its stance, but both sides resent each other. :)

What part of Oklahoma are you from?

I've lived all over, but SW nowadays. Altus is where I live, and work in Mangum as a youth minister... also work at Quartz Mountain.

If you're unfamiliar with this area, then I'm between Lawton and Texas.
