I heard an agrument this weekend in regards to Gun Control that made me think. The whole point to the Second Amendment is for the citizen body to be able to bear arms and overthrow their government when it needs be ( ahhh guess those guys are running late or something cause we could have used that 20 years ago).
BUt the arguments twist is pretty interesting. What good does arms do a citizen body when the GOVERNMENT HAS NUCLEAR AND BIOCHEMICAL ARMS! AND HAS USED THEM BEFORE! Less so, the Governments Guns are far richer, bigger, and better than the BS arms that the average citizen can possess.
Now, I know it seems far fetched of the imagination that the Government would indeed bomb its own people ( happened a shit ton in human history so idk why so skeptical ). However, I think as a body of cannabis users, we know first hand that the Government does NOT respect its people, let alone listen to them. They have arrested MILLIONS of us in regards to Cannabis. It's the Governments way or the highway, and I don't think anyone will argue against that.
To me, it made the whole gun control argument seem rather silly. Rather petty and irrelevant in the whole scale of the picture.
Ya know, Homicide rates over the last 40 year period is actually down 9.4% according to the FBI. Capital "Punishment" on the other hand is up 41.5% over the last forty year period. Sourcing wikipedia. Throw the "collateral damage losses" on the hands of the US Government, Inc. (I.E.- Iraq some 200k+ citizens murdered) and I think the argument for controlling the GOVERNMENT makes wayyyyy more logic.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it
