An armed society is not a polite society! [View all]

An armed society is basically a society filled with a bunch of fearful paranoid individuals that are more likely to kill one another.


I think the closest thing we've seen in our nation to an armed society is the Wild West. When individuals had to carry firearms to protect themselves because there was not a solid law enforcement infrastructure in place.

It seems to me there was allot of senseless violence at that time and society was not Polite.

If people want to carry fire arms because they're scared and paranoid that's one thing. But I just wish people would stop using the saying, "An armed Society is a Polite Society." It's nonsensical and moronic.
