[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 589333, member: 54538"] Rich-- I fully agree with the stance of your earlier statement--but I need to shoot holes in an argument that weak when I see it... You put together a list of people/regimes with negative images who supported disarming the public, to say that this is a reason not to do it. However, most (and likely all) of the people on your list were also supporters of public education. (I found records saying the middle four people on your list were strong supporters of it, indications that George III may have supported it--I'm not sure, and I really don't know much about recent Canadian governments.) Since these evil-doers had such a stance, does this mean that public education is inherently wrong, too? Obviously not. By all means, fight the good fight on this--it's worth doing. But you need arguments stronger than that one... :) [/QUOTE]
