[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] >"Whoa, speaking of logic, thats pretty messed up logic there. The criminal only has the AK-47 because you have the revolver. If you didn't have a revolver, the criminal wouldn't feel the need to get an AK-47. Therefore, he would be threatening you with a knife while you would be using whatever self-defence training or martial arts you know." Ah, the fallacy of reductionism. How quaint. By this logic, we can take a few steps further and say that if I confront the criminal with overabundant peace and joy, he will disarm himself. Everybody SING! "This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, the age of Aquariuuuuuuus..." *waves a Dogbertish paw* BAH. It also assumes the the balance of superior firepower will always be on the side of the criminal. What if he has a saturday night special, but I have a pump action shotgun? Then the 'arms race' HELPS me. If you had your bare hands, and the criminal can get access to a firearm, he won't give up the gun just to level the playing field for you. And since illegal access to guns is far easier than legal access (ask Kosh's Cuban friends)... ta-da. [/QB][/QUOTE]
