Since more guns means less gun violence—the American Right swears it is so—I think the only reason there is any violence in Syria is that there aren’t enough guns there yet.

But really, arming a bunch of people whose religious beliefs commit them to either convert us to their ways of kill us all—a bunch of religious nuts who all believe in the same imaginary friend but have to kill each other with car bombs because this or that faction of them doesn’t believe in that imaginary friend in exactly the right way—what could possibly go wrong in arming them?
