But that ideology is dead. Your pathetic attempts to revive it only make you look foolish.<br /><br />The world may yet fall back into the supreme horror of collectivism, but as long as there are human beings alive, that will fail again. The human spirit is individual, creative, and willful. No matter how many times sociopaths like yourself try to suppress it, it will rise up once more.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-67288041787916812022012-11-24T01:05:08.520+01:002012-11-24T01:05:08.520+01:00State protection of individual "rights",...State protection of individual "rights", which manifestly infringe upon the rights of others is far worse than the subjects of a nation lacking any guaranteed (negative) rights at all. Societies which continue to guarantee certain absolute liberties for mere individuals, create a dangerous Charybdis of individuality, which will deliver our nation to the anarchy inherent in personal freedom. <br /><br />There can be no civil liberties without stepping on innocent toes.

They are designed, marketed, and proliferated for the same purpose (killing), so why should the State govern their possession as if long-arms (shotguns) are less lethal in the hand of the mere civilian than handguns?
