Who needs cranky Ayn Rand when we have Thomas Jefferson?

"If a society provided no organized protection against force, it would compel every citizen to go about armed, to turn his home into a fortress, to shoot any strangers approaching his door—or to join a protective gang of citizens who would fight other gangs, formed for the same purpose, and thus bring about the degeneration of that society into the chaos of gang-rule, i.e., rule by brute force, into perpetual tribal warfare of prehistorical savages."

I totally cannot agree with this statement. One shouldn't rely on the police to protect one's self, and one SHOULD go about armed. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a police.

I don't know anything about Ayn Rand. Is she anti-gun?
