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.
Or they need to be more heavily armed. Which they are.
And yet only we have armed drones in schools to prevent school shootings.
The military and police forces of the world are tiny compared to the armed populations, not to mention the fact that they rely on our labor to function. The people could easily overthrow the U.S military and all the police who protect the corpos and stuff.
That’s just Florida being stupid. I don’t really have a good answer to school shootings other then society is terrible and everyone suffers, and they almost certainly ignore school shooters because it’s convenient to them politically. It’s hard to believe with the mass surveillance they have that they cannot find most of them ahead of time. Pretty much all school shooters turn out to be borderline retards who leave months of evidence leading up to the attack. I’m not saying it’s good and you can ban guns in school, that’s completely acceptable, maybe having metal detectors with armed security is a good mitigation, but the way things are going right now, school shootings will be the least of your worries Inca few years from now.
It amazes me that people advocate for disarming the working class, as America slides into fascism and a total state with total surveillance. There is no easy way out. They are coming for all of us. You can’t bury your head and the sand and hope they won’t come for you as well. At this point the only thing that can save America is a revolution, and for that we need to be armed, or it’s going to be much more painful. In one years hundreds of thousands or millions die in a war. Don’t forget that. Indo think some common sense restrictions are acceptable like I mentioned in public spaces outside of protest and things like this, unless the crime rate is high or something.
Why haven’t we? It’s not for lack of gun
Perhaps, but the Florida Window is wide open
The keyboard is mightier than the gun
There hasn’t been a reason to overthrow the U.S until 2001. That’s when they went authoritarian and antihuman, passing the patriot act, hyperinflating the economy to destroy the middle class, repealing antiprogaganda laws. It started earlier but hasn’t been as bad. I’m not that old though so I really don’t know how it was before the 90s. I remember the U.S was a much nicer place in the 90s and early 2000s. People also cared more about things, besides their next meal.
For point 3, not anymore, the internet has been taken over by algorithms. Nobody will ever see anything they don’t want people to see and they have armies of propaganda bots manipulating the minds of the masses. It is effective but it’s not a replacement for being armed. Most people are decent. They do care about privacy and human rights and other things even if the internet bots try to convince you that everyone is a fascist or a communist. They just want people to accept authoritarianism.
