In reply to the discussion: Question: I carry a knife on me most of the time. Is that as wrong as carrying a gun? [View all]The Straight Story
(48,121 posts)I still am not sure what you are trying to argue.
"That gun ownership somehow undermines the corporate powers-that-be. "
What the heck does that even matter really? How is it relevant to freedom and the right to bear arms?
I don't care the reason people are using - it is a right, plain and simple. And one of the few directly mentioned (many others are implied). Pretty much everyone back then owned a gun for hunting and self defense, it was (and is) a pretty normal part of existence for some folks.
It does, in a sense, undermine the powers that be in the sense that we have people who fight against such powers to remove freedoms. Less freedoms equals more control by the few. Does not matter if it is guns, abortions, who you can freely associate with and enjoy legal activities with, etc.
