The more I see of what you call civilization, the more highly I think of what you call savagery!
- Robert E. Howard
If every man carried a gun, like every free man in the past carried a sword or an axe, it would be very hard for people like Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, and all the other mass-murderers in history, to become mass murderers. They would have been shot dead before they got that far. If every man carried a gun, everybody would have been more courteous to each other, more able to help the innocent and more free. Only slaves were not allowed to carry weapons in the past.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split.
- Robert E. Howard, author, creator of Conan, died June 11, 1936
All authorities arguing against the right of every man to carry a weapon, have the intention to enslave their own population.
