The Beautiful Contradictions of College

So, you get a grade based on participation in an online discussion board. The topic is about individual rights. The first post said,

I support individual rights no matter what. Even in a time of adverse conditons I do not think that there should be an exception to an American citizens rights. The government can find ways to protect the citizens without violating the right established by that government.

How is the fact that if citizens were allowed to carry firearms, 9-11 would never have happened, not related to the topic?

Suggesting that the government were to put defense and personal protection into the hands of citizens through the relaxing of firearm laws, seems to be very much on topic to me.

I love this place.
