A Question of Worth

Is the damage to society from the misuse of guns worth the freedom to have guns? [More]
I just came across this piece. It's very good and very worth sharing.

  1. Thanks for the link to my essay. I wrote it to help people examine the issue from more than one perspective. I hope it helps those who are struggling with the issue of freedom and liberty about firearms come to the right side.

  2. It's a cost/benefit analysis, but it leaves out the 100 million people who were murdered under their own governments in the past century. The prevention of that specter alone is worth it, though unfortunately not to Bernie Sanders' supporters, who are eager to rush back into the abyss of communism.

  3. No, chas, the point of the article is that -- no matter the cost -- freedom is still freedom. No amount of "cost" is going to change that.

    There is nothing in the essay that mentions "benefit" other than the basic God-given right of freedom and liberty.
