What these people have forgotten is that RKBA is a natural or God given right - not a political privilege granted by governments. Every living being has the right to use force to protect itself from violence - whether from criminals, vicious animals, foreign states or tyrannical governments. Life is too precious not to be defended and from this perspective one could even say it is more than a right, but even a duty. Indeed, is it not a duty to protect and defend the things we value and what more so than life and liberty?
While many Americans believe these people have made a grave error in repudiating their rights, we still recognize the fact that culturally we have more in common than we have differences. So they remain our closest friends and we can only hope that some day soon they return to their senses and elect governments that recognize their natural rights. History says it's a one-way slide, but as good neighbors we can still hope against expectation.
