Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.
Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.
people should not have guns, noone needs them and the places without guns all seem to do fine without them, while it can even be observed in the us curretnly how having guns does nothing to protect you from facism. Only a strong legal system does. In mexico it can even been seen what other the us guns law did to other countries.
guns dont offer safety, only escalte violence.it should be the contranband the police and border security should focus on, instead of a needless war on drugs.
some guy with a gun wont win against a state ever, The weapons are way to advanced. This could been seen in the middle east for the last decades when fighting “terrorists”, and even these were better equiped than anyone who just has a gun.
these gun people delude themself into thinking it would be safer for them if they had a gun, while they are fighting the danger they are themself creating
No, but an armed populace does win against a state. Decentralized armed resistance.
On top of that, how do I defend my home and property against intruders without a gun? Seems crazy to even suggest tbh. I’m hours from police access, longer/impossible in winter weather. I need to be able to defend my family…
decentralized armed restiance is what usually is called terrorist, this can hardly be called winning, this is litteraly what the taliban did basically.
also beeing hours away from the police in itself would be a probelm already and sure is not usual.
But even then it already is more likely that you hurt someone with the gun by accident than ever “defending” against any imaginary intruder, if you not live in some lawless wasteland. But then it suddenly is not a problem beeing hours away from any medical service, is it now
edit: But sure if someone lives in some remote place where it is likely that like wild animals attack a home it is different i guess,
still in the end i always ask myself what future i would want to look like, and it sure would not be a place where people have guns
Any State will call an uprising “terrorism”. But it crosses a line and becomes “Resistance” at some point and as public opinion sways, it results in toppled governments.
Being an hour or more from police isn’t that unusual in the western United States. There’s a lot of land and not everyone lives in cities.
Yes it’s more likely that I kill myself than stop and intruder or a bear - but that’s my problem, not yours imo (and yes I realize this libertarian view isn’t shared by everyone).
More than half the people in my region are carrying guns. Yet I’ve never seen one used in public, and rarely see one at all. It’s very low crime here.
Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.
