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.

    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.
