I'm not implying that your character is anything other than what he is, I'm simply stating reality. No sane corporation or logical government would launch an expedition to an unknown alien planet without considering every possible angle, including potential threats, and expect a satisfactory return for their investment. And the weapons don't have to be huge, planet-shattering lasers or even underwater pistols. If you've read through this blog, then you know that my ideas for weapons in the game aren't flashy or fancy or even particularly powerful. I considered the stats of the aggressive fauna and your chances of encountering them while writing this blog, so please don't complain about it.

And that bit in the PDA about the massacre on So-and-So Prime is just another spin on the Democratic Socialist mantra that the basic human drive to survive and persist by any means necessary is wrong. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a gun and money than not. And don't go calling me a greedy killer because of my beliefs or opinions; I would much rather make friends, but I won't just roll over and surrender my God-given rights and freedoms to a deceptive political party whose ultimate aim is the resurrection of a system of governance that even now millions of people are trying to escape.

That you think the nonlethal weapons only rule is sensible tells me that you're against means of personal defense and hold the Second Amendment in low regard and less esteem. As a very sensible person once said: "Blaming guns for Columbine is like blaming spoons for Rosy O'Donnell being fat." Weapons, on their own, do nothing until they're put in the hands of a person; even then, they'll do no killing until or unless that person decides to kill.

Answer this question: If you found yourself in a life-or-death situation and needed a means of defense yesterday, would you rather have a gun and not need it or need a gun and not have it?
