Question

Come up with and carefully present at least one counter-argument or objection to the Anti-Tyranny Argument. That is, I want you to criticize the argument (and, ifyou wish, you may also defend the argument against that criticism). Even if you agree with the Anti-Tyranny argument put yourself in the mind of the opponent and search for a rational objection against it (as presented here). You may in turn respond to that objection. So far as I can tell, there are twostrong objections against it. Please take your time with this assignment. Your response should be around 3-5 sentences. You can earn up to 2points, and your grade will be determined by the clarity and the depth of your response. Here is the Anti-Tyranny argument again If the people or the citizenry of the country are well armed with handguns and semi-automatic rifles, it is considerably less likely that a tyrannical government (a government that completely overthrows our constitutional rights) will take power in the United States. This tyrannical government could be of foreign origin, or it. could be domestic (a coup by the military or some group that has power over the US military).

Explanation / Answer

I object to the given argument. Having provided masses with guns and handgun could help overthrow the government, but the herd mentality and the basic human nature which thrives on power would mutilate the essence and would also make people turn on one amother, which could possibly have a country live in a constant state of civil war over power dynamics.
