A country should be defended not by arms, but by ethical behavior.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is a rule of international law that weapons and methods of warfare which do not discriminate between combatants and civilians should never be used.
Definitely, I am not advocating an arms race.
The right to bear arms is because it's the last form of defense against tyranny.
We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.
We all say no to war, we are all for justice and peace. But sometimes in order to maintain peace, armed action is necessary. But we hope it won't be the case.
The true and solid peace of nations consists not in equality of arms, but in mutual trust alone.
It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms.
The right to bear arms? What about the right to live?
It seems to me we have been in a rhetorical arms race in this country, with each side unwilling to lay down its weapons for fear - usually justified - the other side would beat them to a pulp.
War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms.
