“Between an armed and an unarmed man no proportion holds, and it is contrary to reason to expect that the armed man should voluntarily submit to him who is unarmed, or that the unarmed man should stand secure among armed retainers.” -Niccolo Machiavelli
[Even in the 16th century it was known that armed men stood a better chance of living their lives how they wanted to than unarmed men. We really ought to be able to maintain our arms, and it shouldn't be controversial.]
