[...] Filtering raises a whole new pandora’s box of privacy issues. Who will devise and maintain the list? What happens when other interest groups want to ban unsavory “illegitimate” sites like we’ve seen in Australia? There what began as a “mandatory voluntary” scheme of filtering the Internet to “protect the children” from “offensive and illegal material” spiraled into a plan to include pornography, P2P, gambling websites, and even the recently disclosed online gaming sites.

So how does this affect the passing of censorship laws, it doesn’t. Laws are passed based on political systems and government ideologies, it has nothing to do with gun laws. Case and point there is no link between censorship and the 2nd amendment, one does not prevent the other.

I think the point being that gun laws only prevent LAW ABIDING people from owning them. Nutjobs, criminals, and other neer do wells will always own them.

Only people who respect the law actually obey the law, and so gun control only ensures that this segment of the population is the one victimized by those who get to keep their firearms – criminals and the govt.

Examples of the Mid-East are a poor comparison because they don’t have much respect for any of the norms or cultural traditions that we have, and would just as easily replace AK-47s with stones and machetes.

This represents my view of how useful a gun is in a modern military.

Sorry to tell you this, but the Jews acquired guns, and developed IED during WWII. It helped some communities, but few were able to fight off the Nazi’s either way.
