I wrote ZERO ACCESS, not "rights suspended". Sounds like the same thing? It's not. If insane people live in a place where everybody and their uncle owning firearms is a necessity, then there is no way to achieve ZERO ACCESS. It's an IDEA. Ideas, by their nature, are not always applicable.

Certainly here in Canada this idea is applicable, for all that our country is totally fucked. I mean, it's fucking hard to get a firearm here. Of course tyranny has installed itself in the seats of power already and nobody has been able to do anything about it. Some people think voting is going to work. I sure hope so, but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyway, back to guns in the USA: yes they are a necessity, I never said anything else. Yes that does conflict with the idea of the insane not having any access. We were talking about principles, not applicable solutions.

The applicable solution is to go back to 1939 and the USA backing the GOOD side of the fight against communism. Of course, that's not really an applicable solution, it's still just an idea.

tl;dr: the USA are fucked, just as Nethanyahu promised 30 years ago.
