We've maintained democracy for over 150 years without any revolutions or anything like that. We're a relatively stable country and yes, I realise that can change.

If I need to defend myself in a revolution, I'll get a rifle or a shotgun. They're considerably easier to get than pistols/automatics, and they can effectively kill people. What would I do with a pistol anyways? I'd probably just shoot myself/it would get stolen and a criminal would use it/Or I'll end up threatening someone with it, whoever pissed me off enough - Then I'll end up in jail being fucked by Mongrel Mob/Maori Power members.

I don't see what you're tryna tell me Sloi....In 19 years I haven't needed a gun....Infact there has been a few situations so far that if a gun was around I could have ended up in a very bad situation.

I have a baseball bat and a real enough looking Glock in my room. I feel I could defend my house/family fine enough with just the bat.
