America
the Beautiful
Where
Safety, Civilization and Happiness Converge

Well-armed Americans
insist that security depends on more arms, not fewer.
The NRA argues that every citizen should be armed to maximize personal security.
I have thought about
these claims and conclude that it's time to give a gun to every cinema-goer and every grocery shopper the moment they "come through the door."
These guns will contain
electronic chips to sound alarms if consumers try to abscond with one.
Is this line of argument reductio
ad absurdum?
Or does it show that
American gun culture is founded on reductio ad absurdum?
