Because of the below, I have decided that argument is very leaky. From: http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20030317-095719-3913r BAGHDAD, Iraq, March 17 (UPI) -- It is common these days to see Iraqis brandishing their rifles in the streets of Baghdad. Such gestures have been encouraged by Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to show readiness to confront U.S. invaders. But it also raises fears of a civil war that could break out in a security vacuum that might develop if Saddam's regime is toppled in what seems to be an imminent U.S. war on Iraq. In Baghdad's neighborhoods, rich and poor, it's inevitable to encounter a man with a weapon in one hand and a bag of food in the other. If someone stops to shop in one of Baghdad's stores, he can clearly see a rifle or a pistol in the shop's corner. <snip> Iraq's citizens are armed to the teeth. Liberty? Since the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms, fine, let's have guns. But the Iraq example (along with Pakistan where every man has an AK-47) shows that gun ownership doesn't really have a whole lot to do with liberty. What is the guarantor of liberty? A country's political/judicial system which is set up to preserve it.
