Physical ability is limiting your equalness.

Never bring a knife (or stick or broken bottle) to a gunfight. However, if you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Anyone who fights fair will lose.

The tool in man's hand?


Evil is all around and you never know when it will knock on your doorstep.
So, besides the same gun, wouldn't paranoia also be necessary to be your equal?

Suffice it to say we have very different world views. I pity people who live in fear of the next 'evil' that's coming for them.

Also, how does owning a gun make us equals?

Oh dear god; now you're reducing yourselves to deciding your relative stature by comparing the size of your guns?

This thread sums up the "Dumb Amurikan" mindset in the most illustrative relevant way one could possibly imagine.

Infantile boobs.
