It is according to this hero of several Obama apointees.
From Ayn Rands Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, a refreshing argument for laissez-faire, rooted in morality and not GOP talking points.

Why do we have to justify the use of any of our freedoms by saying it is moral? Who made others the morality police who can kill our freedom when they deem the use of that freedom as immoral?
In my opinion, the law should only act to protect life and property of any individual. This way it provides the security we as human being need without endangering any of our freedoms.
What if copororate and private individials are at odds on an issue?
Is corporation trying to steal or kill? Then the law can stop them. Is a nasty marxist liberal trying to burn down the corporate headquarters? Then the law can stop them.
Au contrare my dear. You are incorrect.
Guns are how the ones in power in Afganistan maintained power.
Muja something or other.

It's tribal warfare. There is no cohesive society in Afghanistan.
did you say it had to be a cohesive society?
They are an armed society as your statement specified.
Was our wild west polite?
With the amount of guns and ammunition being bought by the right wingnuts, they must have a lot of arguing to do.
Of course, that is the only way they have to express themselves......Nasty Healthcare for unisured Americans and all
How about nasty requierments for my life and health regulations like a 10% tax on tanning booths which means that I can only afford to go to on 10% less since the cost was increased.

You can argue semantics as much as you wish.
Barbarism is not the same as a society, which afaic, is defined by enough values and common interests to hold it together. There is something in common so that the individuals feel they are the same side.
That is clearly not the case in Afghanistan, which has been rife with ethnic conflict for centuries. The Wild West was pre-society - people were carving their lives out of the wilderness in areas that were not even states and lacked the civil structures.
As an aside, it's also clear you are not a Heinlein fan, or you would have recognized the statement and the context.

Cave men had societies I expect. Societies do nto have to meet your definition of civility to exist.

Define society.
A group of people with comon goals.
the Nazi were a society.
so were the KKK

You aren't much of a thinker are you?
The violence of the Nazi's was aimed at people they deemed "outside" of their society - the unwanted. They didn't have concentration camps filled with Nazi captives.
Same thing with the KKK. They didn't go around hanging other KKK members.

My gun's a HELL of an argument dipweed. It's all fun n games until the barrel's resting against your forehead.
Can you say "You'd shit your pants"?
A Gun Is Not An Argument
"Violence, naked force, has resolved more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst."
So The Muslims in the ME are a polite society?
The use of guns in the ME is not within a society - it is to wage war on other cultures.
That is not a proper comparison.

I'd like to refer you, at this time, to the second quote of my current signature:Cave men had societies I expect. Societies do nto have to meet your definition of civility to exist.
