# The USA hasn't been invaded because it is too far away - there's
something valid about that. Switzerland, likewise, but due to being
enclosed behind all those big mountains.
As to firearms? To have, or have not? The average citizen doesn't need
them for normal daily life, and registration and background checks seem
essential for those who do.
Why are folk scared of the Gun Lobby? Because if you say something they
don't like, they'll come and shoot you? QED.
"The right to bear arms" was Constitutionally established to fight off
the British redcoats, not slaughter fellow citizens. Thus the National
Guard should be armed - but others?
To overthrow your own government? Yes, could be a valid reason, as the
US Declaration of Independence used the overthrow of tyranny as
justification for war with imperial Britain.
But guns don't kill; it is people who kill. Yes, true enough, but
possession of guns makes killing so much easier, and a trigger-happy
populace leads to a higher homicide rate.
No, gun possession can't really be justified. We have the Defence
Forces to protect us, and a democratic government shouldn't need forcible
removal.
But don't worry; Virginia Tech won't be the last mass killing. Some
other snivelling male student will emerge in due course, full of self-pity,
and imagine it is heroic to blaze away at the defenceless. If all had guns,
then the death toll is likely to be more, and on a daily basis, as neurotic
youths sort out their differences.
The solution? A Referendum (coinciding with next Presidential
election?) to remove, or modify, Article II of the USA Constitution.
