Severe road rage isn't just limited to the US, I've had my fill of it because I drive a BMW, although not that extreme.

Alot of people here condemm the posession of tools for self defence and insist on the old mantra of "it won't happen to us", but how sure are you that your own government is going to be there to protect you if/when evil dose enter your life? 000 (911 for the US) won't save you from an intruder with an illegal hand gun, who is willing to kill you for your posessions, or rape your loved ones of their dignity and security.

The desire to posess a weapon for self defence stems from the most basic of human instincts - Self preservation, or "survival of the fitest" as some people call it.

This is why I raise the question. Would you rather give up your instincts and freedom and let a government or institution protect you and tell you what to do throughout your life?, or would you prefer to hold onto your humanity and use your own instincts to their fullest extent?
