[A. G. Maisey]

Philosophically I find that I am able to agree with the imposition by any society of gun, and other weapons controls.

Provided that those controls are adequately re-inforced by a prolific and well trained police force.

In a society where the possession of any weapon by an unauthorized person is not possible, and where the society can strive to fulfill its purpose of enriching the Elites of the society, then we can say that those controls which prevent unauthorized possession of weapons by a populace are both effective and useful.

In such a society the management of the Society Units (people) can be tailored to produce the most effective outcomes. Society Units can be produced to fulfil identified and specific needs within the society, and replaced when they cease to be productive. Out of date, and non-productive units can be disposed of when retired from service, thus reducing overall maintenance costs of the society.

This policy of specifically engineered Society Units, and management of those Society Units to maximize outcomes, would produce very positive results for the Elites of the society, and of course, that is the purpose of such a society.

However, should we as individuals choose not to live in such a society then we do need to possess weaponry.

We need to possess weaponry to ensure that the Elites of our society cannot create the type of society I have outlined above.

The banning of any type of weaponry is the thin edge of the wedge and can only lead to tighter and tighter controls being put in place.

The price we pay to ensure that a society has the capacity to control the Elites of the society is the possession of weaponry by all members of a society, equally.

Remove from any person the right to possess weaponry and you have started down the road towards total control of the society.

If we support total control of our society, then philosophically, we should support all and any weapons controls.
