[QUOTE="tall73, post: 75758268, member: 125574"] People not considering people worthy of protection is against the vast majority of moral systems throughout time. You can debate whether there should be any morality, or what is the basis of ethics, but not killing people is about as close to recognizing a right as we can get. It doesn't mean it will always be respected. I agree that people get too caught up in the details without discussing the over arching concern. For instance, many places prohibit knives, clubs, even pepper spray in some instances, but allow for various firearms. To me that is a strange application of the right to self-defense. I own only one firearm that I have not shot in decades. It resides in the gun safe of a relative in a different location. It is an heirloom from my grandmother, a single shot bolt action .22 that I learned to shoot with. My family has talked over whether we would want to defend ourselves with force, or would rather die than kill someone. We tend to fall in the latter category, though I still do not consider self defense immoral. And in a number of rural contexts it can be a very useful item. [/QUOTE]
