It doesn't matter if you are for or against conscription.  It does not matter if new military enlistees have a particular viewpoint on gun rights.

Obviously if a country could entice young men into fighting with promise of glory and bravery then it would not need a draft.  Your response has nothing to do with my point.  Here it is again.

it is precisely the large governments that historically have sucked young 16-18 year olds into going to war using idealistic and patriotic imagery and propaganda.  It is precisely those governments that have caused them to get half their faces blown off.

Please address the question I posed a few posts back:

FirstAscent might counter my examples of the girl, and the homeowner, and my personal experience with arguments A, B, and C - things like the kid accidentally shot, more guns in criminal hands, whatever.  But this presumes that he thinks his argument of A, B, and C trumps the individual decisions made by me, by the girl, and by the homeowner.  They have already likely considered A, B, C, etc in their decision process.

Why is his decision (or that of any politician or Authoritarian Progressive Controller) superior?
