Is this a true statement?
"The welfare of the community as a whole is more important than the welfare of any individuals in that community."
Most people, both anti and pro gun folks would agree with that statement.
The anti gun people believe that by disarming individuals they are assisting the welfare of the community as a whole. They already KNOW, if they are thinkers, that the welfare of individual citizens who may be crime victims will be decreased. But they don't CARE, because they think disarmament increases the welfare of the community.
So what we must do, those of us who are pro-gun and pro RKBA, is address THIS issue. We must be able to prove to them that the welfare of the community as a whole is increased by individuals keeping and bearing arms. That's the crux of the matter.
On the other hand, it is impossible to reason with unreasoning hoplophobes, and there are a lot of those folks out there.
