2nd Amendment,right or privilege?

[stanc]

Sheep exist to serve us.

They are totally dependent on their masters for their lives, food, water and exercise. In the interest of improving the stock to make their progeny better eating by their masters, they frequently have little or no choice on which sheep will become mates. (or, in today’s world of artificial insemination, no sex at all.)

That would be our fate if we are denied the means for self defense.

You overexaggerate. Most, if not all, European countries have no individual right to keep and bear arms, but mating is not controlled or prohibited.

Do we really want to live in a world where the ruling elite has total control over all aspects of our lives?

My answer to that would depend upon whether or not I would be a member of the ruling elite.

And we have strayed far away from the question posed by the OP... :o
