| 1117180 | 2010-07-08 13:41:00 | Here (www.stuff.co.nz). I both agree and disagree with this: when someone's pointing a gun at you, it's generally good to do whatever they say, nothing is worth your life, however, we can't just roll over and wait for the cops, and the chances are high that if they weren't stopped, they would've gotten away with it. Opinions? |

The community should be rallied to stop crap like tagging, burglaries and drug houses in our streets. |

Then we'd turn out like the yanks (no offence surfer_joe). They all "need" guns to defend their families. Personally Im all for a pub brawl and if someone was pointing a gun anywhere a drunken huey they is going down. |

Funny enough I was once in a pub brawl where guns were presented, It changed the vibe instantly,Though the drunken brain doesn't seem to comprehend how bad things have just become, and how much worse it could become in an instant. |

| 1117187 | 2010-07-09 23:55:00 | Ayn Rand on the subject................ The necessary consequence of man’s right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. All the reasons which make the initiation of physical force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative. If some “pacifist” society renounced the retaliatory use of force, it would be left helplessly at the mercy of the first thug who decided to be immoral. Such a society would achieve the opposite of its intention: instead of abolishing evil, it would encourage and reward it. |
