"The single purpose of society, indeed, is to protect the individual, and to give him the strength of the public arm, in defence of his just and natural right." – John Witherspoon, The Druid, Article II, The Works of John Witherspoon, pg. 156 [Read]It's not about guns, it's about freedom.

It is interesting that Witherspoon goes on to state that the over-application of inducing fear may not result in the intended heightened sense of fear but instead unintended rage which may overcome all measures made to induce fear - an aspect of "The Law of Unintended Consequences".
