Guns

[mecca]

The problem is that those in power have far superior guns

Yeah... oh well.

 

[Lurker]

Yeah... oh well.

I do not accept that. I will resist.

 

[mecca]

I do not accept that. I will resist.

How?

 

[Lurker]

How?

By any means necessary

 

[Lurker]

How?

Thanks for asking though. The government already knows. I'm not scared.

I like Guns. I wouldn't mind owning a rocket launcher, but that probably isn't practical.

The problem with guns is they are far too glorified in media, and there's way too many of them. Everyone is always like "Criminals don't follow laws! So how do you keep them out of their hands?"

How about. Stop making so many of them. I know industries would crumble, but less people would get shot.

And ya know..... the ones with the better guns don't necessarily win... the US has the most powerful army in the world but it couldn't beat Vietnam.... the FMLN guerillas in El Salvador could not be defeated by the much better equipped US-backed Salvadoran army.... the FMLN now controls the Salvadoram government. Or look at the Zapatistas in Mexico today..... they're way less equipped than the Mexican army yet they've basically managed to establish their own government in Chiapas..... history is full of David-beating-Goliath stories. That's why Goliath wants you to be scared because he knows he's not invincible. Rome must have also seemed invincible at the time. And I'm sure not many would have thought the Titanic would sink.

Wow. I can kill with a ball point pen. Should I jump through hoops to own one of those? What about my work knives? Should I be licensed to own them? I'll take dangerous freedom, thanks.

It doesn't feel like you actually fully read and understood my post, just judging by your response.

Dictatorships always take guns from people. It's a way of keeping them powerless.

No guns here, am kinda glad because there have been so many school shootings and other mass shootings and so many accidents where children got hold of guns and accidently shot themselves or other people. People obviously cant all automatically be trusted to have a gun so why is it so easy, cant help thinking there would be a lot less gun related deaths in the US if it wasnt so easy to get a hold of a gun.

Obviously some places even with strict gun laws these things can and have happened but you can certainly see theres a massive difference. Sure Scotlands much smaller than the US and the only school shooting we have ever had here was the Dunblane school massacre but how many school shootings have there been in the US in the last 20 years? And accidental gun deaths of children.

No, I understood your post perfectly fine. Though you should understand rules of engagement before you speak of previous wars/police actions.

I say they should be aiming for the teachers.

I say they should be aiming for the teachers.

... why?

 

[Lurker]

... why?

Teachers harm, pupils don't

 

[mecca]

Teachers harm, pupils don't

teachers don't deserve to get murdered
What do they harm?

 

[Lurker]

teachers don't deserve to get murdered
What do they harm?

Teachers harm students through Frankfurt School idiology, while they don't deserve to be murdered, there won't any love lost

 

[mecca]

Frankfurt School idiology

What is that?

Typically the better weapons win though. And I think that the idea that guns are some kind of counterbalance against oppressive governments is silly. You are not going to shoot down a black hawk helicopter with your fancy nickle plated 9mm. Or maybe you got yourself some slick body armor. Well incoming artillery shell from a mile away. Have fun with that.

You have Google,use it.
