#1 So the answer is to restrict the right of self-defense, like in Sudan or Zim-Bob-we.

Anyone brought up in African (or Arabic) culture simply cannot be trusted with machinery. Guns, cars, explosives, nothing.

#2 Any time somebody starts waxing too lyrical about the 2nd Amendment, I always bring up Somalia, followed by Yemen. By the time I get to Pakistan they're rolling their eyes and remembering that they left something on the stove. There are limits to everything.

I'll bite. So, Fred, do you think Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan have 1) a ratified constitution, 2) a Second Amendment and 3) a history of constitutional law and court decisions upholding the respective rights under the 2nd Amendment?

We really are comparing the most dysfunctional, tribal, stone-age systems disguised as legitimate governments with our own constitutional republic with a system of civic and law. No comparison.
