Evil is hard to accept. I attended a self-defense training class last week where an expert described how callous and downright evil violent criminals can be. I dont think Im a coward, but recognizing evil takes an emotional toll. Im not alone in feeling that way. Gun prohibition laws give us psychological relief from facing evil. Projecting evil intent on an inanimate object protects us from having to recognize violence as part of the human condition. By contrast, recognizing evil strips away our innocence and imposes obligations on us. This psychological dynamic explains a lot about the political dynamics behind gun control. Gun control continues to appeal to a certain type of person despite its record of failure.

Violence in Baltimore, Detroit and Chicago are not the fault of a lack of gun laws. But if you try to carry a gun for self-defense in these cities you are the one likely to end up in jail. Even driving through New Jersey with a gun can land you in jail.

The Second Amendment doesnt have a lot of confusing phrases, after all, it is only 27 words. 17 of those words are four letters or less. It is quite a plainly phrased fundamental right.

Violence and Utopia- Realism and Idealism in The Age of Gun Control

Criminals and gun control activists prey on our innocence. Violence is real. It is serious. And, it is hard to see.

On one hand, we can view the world as imperfect and slightly dangerous. A realist takes responsibility for his or her own safety.

On the other hand, we can cling to a utopian view of the world. An idealist says that it is societys duty to protect him from violence. The idealists not only hates the tools of violence, but he hates those of us who carry those tools for personal protection.

Which one is right?
