17. Pert, it is dangerous to make policy based on a special case. One could
take an instance of someone using an automobile to murder a victim and propose that automobiles be banned.

Central to the RKBA argument is the "rights of an individual" versus "any perceived danger to society". As long as society's agent, i.e. government, is not obligated to protect an individual, then an individal has the right to defend self.

Our current US government is sufficient evidence for me that government can not be trusted.
