GUN CONTROL: "The gun control debate generally ignores the historical and philosophical underpinnings of the Second amendment.Hat tip: Liberator Online
The Second amendment is not about hunting deer or keeping a pistol in your nightstand.
It is not about protecting oneself against common criminals.
It is about preventing tyranny.
The Founders knew that unarmed citizens would never be able to overthrow a tyrannical government as they did.
They envisioned government as a servant, not a master, of the American people.
The muskets they used against the British Army were the assault rifles of that time.
It is practical, rather than alarmist, to understand that unarmed citizens cannot be secure in their freedoms."
Libertarian U.S. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX), "Gun Control on the
Back Burner," Nov. 6, 2006.

Justo ahora, en la Argentina, el rol de la tenencia de armas en manos de civiles como resguardo del sistema constitucional que está presente en nuestra constitución, ahora está cuestionado a partir del auge del desarmismo que pretende cercenar un derecho en nombre del bien común.
