I have only just now read every post in this thread.

Agricola: "... in our "natural" state there are no laws or methods of behaviour."

There is a basis for some fundamental misunderstanding. I do not believe it is true.

Agricola, your response to Tamara's four questions is very disappointing. You have shown yourself to be a tolerant and learned debator. I have never seen a detractor or disbeliever of our "open" interpretation of the Second Amendment be swayed by open debate. It seems it is almost a point of honor (or is it that their mind's made?) to not go over to the other side.

The arguments are before you and seem to be ample ... if you really are not predispositioned.
