| m*****y 发帖数: 2424 | 24 Now you want to talk about democracy, fine, I'm your huckleberry. Democracy,
in layman's terms, is simply that majority rules while protecting minority
interests, and there shall be no tax without representation, which is the
founding principle of this nation. Democracy has never been, nor will it
ever be, dictated by statistics and public sentiment. Because if it were,
then the tax rate of the rich will be 90%, because statistics says the
overwhelming majority of the people will never make over 1 million a year,
and public sentiment is to tax the rich to death. But I digressed, let's
talk about gun control.
Your argument was that since there was a very remote chance you would be
robbed by anyone, therefore it would not make sense to own guns for self-
protection. Then why do you need car insurance since there is also very
remote chance that you will be involved in a car accident? Other people on
the other hand, yours truly included, do not want to risk the chance of
ending up in your low statistics, so we take advantage of the current gun
law to arm and protect ourselves. Now as a law-abiding citizen, if the
second amendment is ever abolished and all guns are forcefully confiscated,
I am willing to give up mine as well. However, with the status quo of gun
law and the reality of gun proliferation, I will exercise my right to arm
and protect.
Since you have such strong opinion on banning all guns, I suggest that you

democracy is enforced by voting, which has direct connection with statistics
and public sentiment.
----------------------
Because if it were, then the tax rate of the rich will be 90%, because
statistics says the
overwhelming majority of the people will never make over 1 million a year,
and public sentiment is to tax the rich to death.
----------------------
if you can get >90 % of poor people out to vote, then you will have a very
good chance that the tax rate goes much higher, maybe not 90%. the
statistic says, the less educated and poor one is, the less likely they go
out to vote.
-----------------------
But I digressed, let's
talk about gun control.
Your argument was that since there was a very remote chance you would be
robbed by anyone, therefore it would not make sense to own guns for self-
protection.
----------------------
I did not say that if you mind going back to the arguments, so don't put
your words in my mouth. I simply said, the argument that you have a one in
million chance being robbed by someone is not enough to make a case for
owning a gun, like wise with banning gun ownership with the recent gun
violence, because these are not everyday incidences, as tragic as they can
be.
----------------------
Then why do you need car insurance since there is also very
remote chance that you will be involved in a car accident?
----------------------
this is enforced by the government. given the choice, some people would not
buy insurance at all, and people can start another whole bunch of argument
on both sides.

Other people on

Democracy is enforced by the three branches of the government, out of which
only the legislative branch operates through voting. Statistics and public
sentiment hardly ever play any important role in legislation, the convoluted
process of endless political bargaining, lobbying, and quid pro quo. The
existing gun law is an excellent case in point.

Are you one of those people? It sure sounds like you are, with your
reasoning. It's probably one in a million chance that you'll get into an
accident or be pulled over by a cop, so why bother with insurance.
" I have
never agree with banning gun ownership, but stricter gun control and

So you don't want to ban guns, then why are you telling me that I shouldn't
own one?

----------------------------------------
well, FYI, the definition of democracy is "rule by people". if I remember
correctly, the birth place was a seaside village in ancient greece. after
overthrowing a local tyrant, the villagers decided to make public decisions
based on voting with black and white marble. this is the primitive form of
democracy. the form today is so much more complex, but the basic idea is
there, rule by people in the form of voting. every citizen gets one vote,
poor or rich, old or young.
-----------------------------
Check the voter turn-out of the most recent 2 elections.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout
quote:
Socioeconomic factors significantly affect whether or not individuals
develop the habit of voting. The most important socioeconomic factor
affecting voter turnout is education. The more educated a person is, the
more likely he or she is to vote, even controlling for other factors that
are closely associated with education level, such as income and class.
Income has some effect independently: wealthier people are more likely to
vote, regardless of their educational background. There is some debate over
the effects of ethnicity, race, and gender. In the past, these factors
unquestionably influenced turnout in many nations, but nowadays the
consensus among political scientists is that these factors have little
effect in Western democracies when education and income differences are
taken into account.[24] However, since different ethnic groups typically
have different levels of education and income, there are important
differences in turnout between such groups in many societies. Other
demographic factors have an important influence: young people are far less
likely to vote than the elderly; and single people are less likely to vote
than those who are married.[citation needed] Occupation has little effect on
turnout, with the notable exception of higher voting rates among government
employees in many countries.[24]
--------------------------------------------
Like I said, even with the low statistics, I don't want to end up being the
one in the million, that's why I said statistics didn't matter if it
happened to you. Because to the victim, it's 100%. Get it?
------------------------------------
I totally see your point, but your point is no better than some used by
people who want to ban gun ownership. to illustrate your statistic, here is
a hypothetical scenario.
In a one million family community, one family is being robbed or even killed
by intruders. A says, I don't want to be the sucker, I need a gun to
defend my home, A's logic is that one in a million becomes one if it is A's
family. Now laws passed and every family has gun. one day, a kid from one
of the family stole a gun and shoots other kids in the school. B jumps out
and said all guns need to be ban so that no possibility for gun violence,
even though it is one kid in a million, B doesn't want to be sucker. C
jumps out and said, if B arms him/herself, B should be fine. B said no,
there is still one in a million chance the shooter shoots before s/he does,
B doesn't want to be the sucker, B believe all guns should be banned and
confiscated. D jumps out and said there is one in a million chance a tyrant
is in power, and guns can not be banned, and E jumps out, etc, and here
goes all one in a million. | m*****y 发帖数: 2424 | 29 This is getting way too long, so allow me to be succinct without much
elaboration:
1. "Rule by the people" is just a dream, an illusion created by the real
rulers of the world, the rich and the powerful.
2. Unprecedented amount of black and poorly educated voters came out to vote
for Obama.
3. I'm all for banning all guns, but that will never happen in this country
of more guns than people. So until that day comes when the national guards
are knocking on everybody's door to confiscate all guns, I will sleep a lot
better with my weapon locked and loaded.
