[QUOTE="Mo Boost, post: 2686500, member: 11454"] When it comes down to authorities disarming the citizenry in times of crisis, there are a couple of things to consider. Everyone has the right to defend themselves. Period. On the other hand, there are erratic people out there who may have all the "paper requirements" to carry a firearm, but that same paperwork doesn't certify their mental state, mental capacity, or sanity. An independent person shouldn't have to rely on civil authorities to keep themselves safe from other people....hell, the state & federal governments have proven they are incapable of protecting the general populace in wake of disasters. Don't get me wrong. I love cops, I love law & order.....but in the absence of law & order, who has the responsibility to protect me, my friends & family from a mob of predatory dirtbags? :mj: The State giveth, the State taketh away. The same situation happened with gold ownership in the US just after the Depression hit. Private citizens could own gold, and the US Mint had actually struck a few coins for sale in 1933, then the federal Government rescinded the law. 2 1933 gold Double Eagles were known to exist, the rest were the property of the government and melted. Until August, 2005, the last 2 coins were museum curiosities. 10 coins that weren't supposed to exist were willingly turned over to the US government for authentication. When the coins were found to be genuine, they were immediately confiscated. [url]http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-08-25-usmint-rare-coins_x.htm[/url] Confiscated, even though it is legal for private citizens to own gold...but not this particular gold. :bored: Remember this fact...when it is convenient for the government to enforce the law, it is supposed to be in the citizen's interest....but you will never have more money or power than the State thinks you are capable of handling.
