Intelligence²: The Right to Bear Arms is a Freedom Too Far
At 1100 PST / 1400 EST / 1900 GMT today, Will Self and Peter Hitchens will be debating the motion that "the right to bear arms is a freedom too far", for and against, respectively. Tickets to the debate are sold out, so it's going to be livestreamed on YouTube right [url=http://www.youtube.com/versusdebates]here[/url]. I'll edit (or another ninja can) the live video into the post when it's available.
Intelligence² debates typically involve the audience to participate in voting, so I figured we could do the same here with a poll. Although some of you will have already made up your mind which way you will vote, I encourage you to watch the debate regardless.
There is also little bit of background on the debate you can read [url=http://www.intelligencesquared.com/events/versus-right-to-bear-arms/]here[/url].
Enjoy.

6 RepliesWait I'm confused. If someone were to pick "for", would that mean "for" promoting the right to keep and bear Arms, or "for" promoting the statement "the right to bear arms is a freedom too far", and vice versa with "against"? Also, [quote]“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.. they make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants.” ~ Thomas Jefferson[/quote] I like this quote. It's a nice quote.
