Your defense for why people should have guns is happening right now, and yet all those guns aren't being used to solve the problem. So clearly guns aren't the whole solution. But keep clinging to that hope that guns will solve all those problems you list, while ignoring all the problems unfettered access to guns cause.
As for your spurious prohibition comments, both drugs and cars are regulated. So are you saying gun control is a good idea or not? Pick a fucking lane please!
Youre trying to advocate for the disarming of people so clearly you think that regulating guns the same way vehicles are (everyone over the age of 16 can buy them and have them) is not adequate.
And some drugs are regulated but the drugs that are prohibited are not regulated which exacerbates the issues regarding drug use that are politicized and manipulated to maintain prohibition at all costs.
We need to regulate police more than we need to regulate guns. As in we need to switch the standard thst it takes 8+ years of training to practice law but only 6 months of training to enforce it while armed. And those hired to be police are specifically chosen for their lack of intellect and willingness to blindly follow orders. But sure lets disarm the general public and concentrate firepower further into the hands of the class traitor attack dogs for the 1%
Now maybe if our society had not been relentlessly attacked from every angle by a covert fascist plot to kill education standards, turn the media into propaganda dissemination tools that benefit the established power structure and erradicate the progress of civil and labor rights advocacy to move backwards towards enslaved laborers as quickly as possible, maybe we would have a population that wasn't full of morons so afraid of guns that they believe the only option is to take away their neighbors rights to own and carry guns. Maybe if we trained people on weapons safety from a young age maybe if it was necessary to own a gun to eat meat instead of relying on corporate capitalist consumerism to buy packages of dead animal flesh packaged after the mass industrialized slaughtering of livestock maybe then our society wouldn’t have devolved into fascism. But instead your parents and their parents were mostly all morons who didnt figure out the glowing talking box they spent the majority of their leisure time staring at was actually a weaponized propaganda dissemination tool being used to pacify the working class and render them helpless and dependent upon industrialized consumerist infrastructure to the point where so many people stupidly share your attitude that guns should be taken away because people cant be trusted with them. Well to that i say let the police and militaries of the world be the first to disarm themselves.
I mean you’re probably someone who isnt informed or intelligent enough to understand the government is lying about inflation and that all capitalist nations in decline have manipulated economic data to their advantage in an attempt to downplay the true extent of inflation and currency devaluation to prevent a revolution for as long as possible. Im pretty sure if more people knew the truth as i do they would not feel the way you do and instead be more than happy to get the pitchforks and torches(or guns in todays day and age) to demand whats rightfully ours from the billionaires who have looted the working class for 5+decades. Regardless of why it hasnt happened yet (societal manipulation through the normalized consumption of weaponized media dissemination) it will happen someday hopefully sooner than later and when that point comes you better hope the guns haven't been seized from the working class because the lives of your children or your children’s children will get much worse at exponentially increasing speed from here on out. But i guess so long ss youre pacified and comfortable what does it matter 🥴
Please find one sentence where I've said the public in general should be disarmed. What I have said is background checks are gun control, or that violent offenders shouldn't have access to firearms, or that the guns the second amendment allows have never been used for that purpose in the history of America since it was founded. But keep arguing with the statements you imagine I made. And if things are as bad as you believe they are, why aren't you exercising your second amendment right for its intended purpose?
