At a loss for words on this out of touch idiot so I'll post this from another person on youtube.

"Christ! Where do you begin? So many things that this idiot said were so contradictory and nonsensical so as to be comical. Whats even more frightening is you can see the conviction in the mans eyes!! He actually believes his own nonsense!"

This needs a written transcript. The written words on the screen go by too fast unless you start and stop the video - most viewers will not do this.

I agree that it is some strange thinking. Citizens should only have defensive weapons, like what?

Shades of Chairman Mao, and his immortal line "all political power comes out of the barrel of a gun." At least it is a public official who is honest about the nature of political power. That is a rare enough occurrence. Usually they like to use euphemisms to make government sound nicer, like "it is for your protection," or "in America we do such and such" (omitting the bit about how we do it that way or they send their guys with guns after us). The bottom line is that all laws are nothing but threats of force. The reason the government needs guns (domestically anyway) is to make sure people know that their threats are not bluffs. Whether governmental force is defensive or offensive depends on context. Are they going after someone to stop him from violating the rights of another person, or are they going after someone who is minding his own business? In this country (and in pretty much every other), the armed governmental workers do plenty of both.

The libertarian rejoinder to Chairman Mao's famous proclamation is "power to the people."
