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.

(Voted Against) There are aspects to government and society that seems it wants to hinder lower classes and the impoverished. If these conventions ultimately suppress my idea for how life is to be lived, and all other means for changing these conventions have been exhausted, I want society to have the option to bear arms and revolt. If society has this option suppressed and only those who hold power have the option to use violence, then what chance do the masses have... very little.
