>The intention of this article is to present a rational description and a basis for the concept of armed self-defence that is presently either missing or misshapen in public discourse. So you want to try and use rational arguments against criminals taking us all down? Seriously? The reason the public discourse is missing rational arguments and truth is misshapen, is because we are the enemies of the criminals running the world. They don't want rational discourse or truth. They want us dead.
