I’ve copied the following text from “Munchkin Wrangler’s” post in the comments section underneath “Why can’t I buy more than twelve guns a year?” in The Daily Telegraph. British blogger Stephen Hough expressed his incredulity that anyone would want to buy more than one handgun a month (re: Virginia’s move to rescind that restriction).
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
