How to answer Piers Morgan's question "why does anyone need to own an assault rifle"

[mrbatchelor]

He warns that the resisting-tyranny argument holds no water with libs, as they think of the government as a benevolent nanny, so why would anyone oppose it?

The point I make to unreasonable liberals, and I make that distinction to separate them from rational liberals with brains, is that John Ashcroft started warrentless wiretaps under Dick Cheney using George Bush as his dupe. Those kind will get elected again one day, and if the pathway is clear they'll just march right through to dictatorship. That brings them around quick.

Don't try that with people who can think. Won't work. But with the second group you can have a rational discussion.

Nighty - nighty for the dreaded liberal/conservative debate.

One can find liberals who agree with the defense against tyranny and conservatives who find it ridiculous.

Thus, we are closed.
