(As a general concept of how a society should run, not intended as a US-specific question.)

I sometimes see people on the internet saying that giving people easy access to guns is too risky and there should be stricter gun control, while simultaneously wanting to abolish the police? I’m just confused on what people really want?

You cant both abolish the police and then also disarm the citizens, gotta pick one. So which is it, internet? Self-policing with guns? Or reform the police?

(Also its funny how the far-right of the US is both pro-gun and pro-police, I’m confused by that as well)

    In a functional society, gun should not be allowed to be used for personal defense by the public, the police should have a monopoly on using guns for protection.

    But, guns should be allowed for hunting, sports and a general hobby.

    If a member of the public used a gun for self defense, an investigation would determine if that was justified or not.
