In recent weeks, multiple anti-gun groups have come together to challenge peoples right to bare arms in self defence, along with having emergency gun distribution center in every city and town.

They claim it is completely insane to allow civilians to have the right to bare arms in their home, claiming more people die of gun-related incidents then they do with knives, even though many of those deaths come as self-defence.

They also want all emergency gun distribution centers shut down FOR GOOD, claiming civilians with guns could kill people. The court ruled against this claim, stating, "These centers were created years ago so that a well-armed militia could be created instantly in defence of this great nation, ViZion, and their lives."

However, the right for civilians to bare arms is still up in the air. The ruling is expected soon. The anti-gun groups plan to appeal to a higher court on the emergency distribution centers.

What is your opinion on the distribution centers?
