If the debate is over, the guns may do the talking. Seriously. If you don't talk, you must be assuming the other side of the argument will just wilt and go away. What happens if that doesn't happen?
There's not a whole lot of sense in taking this attitude. I think it was former Senator Bob Kerrey who once said that it was better to have the argument than not to have it for the reason given above. That was a sensible position to take, but nowadays, the sensible has given way to the opposite, as Klavan shows in this video. It's cave-in or else. But what if the other side says to this --- "make me"? Then what do you do, geniuses? Do you crack down with government force? And if there's a rebellion? Do you guys really want to go there, or are you counting on your opponent to roll over and play dead?
The left seems more and more willing to talk about force. I've seen it out there. Again, do they really want to go there? I think they are counting on something that may not pan out to be true.
