One of the first points made here against the RLSH movement was about the Gun.
People out in the night with a firearm looking for problems to solve is a vigilante. Many a hero, villain, and supporter stood up and said that is not what the movement was about. I was misinformed, incorrect, and wrong. I was told anyone who carried a firearm would be dealt with and not considered a RLSH.
So please inform me! Superhero carries a firearm. He has said so, this is a fact. Please tell me how this act is justified?
In his own words he claims to need this for self defense against the 00.1% of people who have made threats against his life or those of Team Justice. Why have people made threats against them? I can only speculate that certain people in society do not feel like they need self proclaimed protectors. I also wonder what happens after 10% of the populous stands against the RLSH? If you use fire arms for 00.1% what next, full automatic machine guns? Grenades? Flame throwers?
A Firearm is a tool of man, the same as a flash light, a microwave oven, or a wrench. Will you stumble around in the dark if you have a flash light? Will you boil water over an open fire if you have a microwave oven? Will you use your hands to undue a bolt if you have a wrench? And will you restrain someone who is dangerous or shoot them instead?
As the Kick-Ass movie states... they don't have powers.... and they don't care.
