EQ is a game. MQ is a program designed to cheat at said game. All players in the game agree to play by the same rules in order to not have cheating. One group of those players isn't permitted by some rule to have guns (military, police), while the rest are not.

You are making an illogical and irrational comparison between two different topics of contention. While analogous. They have no connection to each other.

We already have a well established right to bear arms that has been steadily eroded. And from the days that it was completely unregulated we didn't see any more tragedy than we do now.

We just see more tragedy per capita and guns happen to be what the media pays attention to. Rather than many other tragic deaths happening all the time.

One also is ignoring the philosophical right we who wish to bear arms bring to the table. That the purpose is not to cheat at the games, or to use them wantonly to maintain an edge on another group that is using them. Just that we have the right to have them and use them as we see fit. We see this in laws like the "castle doctrine".

Get off your self righteous high horse. You are fighting a fight for a group of people that really do want to see you powerless and helpless. They would be more than happy to sacrifice your life for a bit of extra "security" in their mind. Virtual security. Security that cannot even truly be ensured through the use of their own force.

Eliminating guns through laws will not make our society a freer, safer, happier society. It will just be one more nail in the coffin of America. Its a virtual meta safety. If you cant understand this. You truly have never been in a situation of powerlessness. I'm telling you right now. That if you allow this slippery slope to proceed just for good warm feelings that someone else told you so. You will result in shit like the holocost 2.0
