You know, if nobody had weapons then you wouldn’t need a weapon to defend yourself with
yes, I would, as I statet, physically stronger people could easily beat or strangle me to death
Just like someone with a bigger/better gun could.
It's a slippery slope.
For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn't matter when they have tanks and drones.
"Why do all the people who know anything at all about guns not care what I think about guns?"
that's not rly how guns work, if I was rly good with guns I could kill someone with a .22lr if they had a 9mm and were bad with guns, the thing is different guns are good for different things, you won't be able to use a shotgun effectively at 50m++ for example or a sniper rifle at 7m--
also how good you are with guns isn't a genetics thing like physical strength
of course I'd rather live in a world without guns, but the moment one person has a gun everyone should have one
I always wonder why the usa is so against iran or north koera getring nukes... if some countrys have nukes, everyone shiuld have them...
Yes, they should
yeah, I do belive that if any all countries should have nukes
> I always wonder why the usa is so against iran or north koera getring nukes
this is because their intention isn't for countries to defend themselfs, but to be the world power and have a monopoly on violence (as every state does), that's also the reason I don't like the state.
now, why do you think most states don't want you to get guns?
Its not that "states" dont want me to have guns but the people of that state dont want there to be so many guns.
If i have a argiment with my neighbor i can be reasonable shure that he wont pull a gun out if he is mad. Pulling a trigger on someone is much easier than beating someone to death. If you fear the state becoming a facist regime maybe put mechanisms against that into your consitution instead of saying " just have guns" because thats is not a working mechanism. Against facism you need free public media that isnt privatly owned or government controlled. You need good public education and a working democratic system. America has neither of these things and instead of demanding that either of these get implemented the idiots freak out about gun co trol as if they could do anything against a facist state. Half of americans think that trump is fit for office, do you think that your right to a gun will solve the problem? If you want to kill him fine, but that means there is still a maga group full of idiots who will rally behind the next dude that wants a to build a facist state. Do you really think that ton of maga idiots with guns who think that immigrants eat their pets will not be more destructive than people not having guns at all?
