We?ve addressed this issue several times here on TFL?. As I see it, it comes down to one thing?. Trust? we either trust our fellow citizens or we don?t?. please read this judges opinion carefully?. You can see the fear in his reasoning? this fear leads to miss-trust of his fellow citizens. So where is the line drawn? Where is it drawn for the government? Why do we trust them to have such weapons? United we stand, divided we fall? We either trust each other or we don?t. We stand together to fight for all or we don?t?. If you would trust yourself not to set one off? then is your fear so great that you would distrust a fellow citizen to act any different than yourself?

I trust and do not fear my fellow citizens. I know that if someone goes off the deep end, there will be those among us who will stop them. It?s that simple.
