"If only the police and army had guns we would all be potential victims of autocrats and despots" -gilgamush
LOL. What world does your mind live in?
Speaking about the US, the military has the only guns that actually matter. Their weaponry is a million times more effective than your pistols and rifles. They can press a button and wipe out an entire city if they wanted.
You are already living under despots. You possess ZERO power. They just like to make you think you do. When they sell you a gun, they're not selling "freedom", they're selling a product. They only keep us around because we're the consumers that buy their products so they can get richer and richer.
They'll allow you to have your little guns, but never something that might actually threaten the military (tanks, drones, jets, nuclear, automatic weapons). Only handguns, so that poor people (non consumers) can kill each other over stupid shit like road rage and gang violence.
The idea that us civilians can rise up and form militias and stand up to the government is long gone. The right to own a gun made sense when it was musket vs musket. Now it's pistol vs drone... pistol vs nuke... pistol vs fighter jet. These people waving their guns around shouting "freedom" look so silly.
Owning a gun in a third world country with turmoil makes more sense, as it's still basically guns vs guns.

- Conservatives are so stupid thoug. They're so pro-military that they've allowed the military to become incredibly over-funded and way too powerful to ever beat.iCanHazQBN
- ...And yet in the same breath they tell each other that they can stand up to the military with their little pistols. Amazing logic.iCanHazQBN

- Wake up sheeple!isleptwithsirenstonight
- US Military was driven out of Iraq and Afghanistan by cheap infantry weapons, like guns.Pupsipu
- What an idiotic post. Armed citizenry is to protect you from mass murdering govts like Germany, England, France, China, Austria, Iran, Russia, Africa, etc.Hayoth
- Then the second part is to protect from people that call for people to be murdered who have a different opinion. Moldero for example wants that pharma CEO killeHayoth
- Typical American mentality, believe guns are necessary for society, ignore the vast majority of civilized countries that don't have mass gun ownership and areyuekit

- it's cool guys. icanhaz doesn't need to have the means to defend his person and property, the police and military will take care of him and pat him on the headgilgamush
- and tell him what a good boy he is for bending over and submitting to the progressive brainwashing. you sound like someone with a raw kiester icanhaz, try thinkgilgamush
- thinking for yourselfgilgamush
- Defend my person from who? Someone else with a gun? What a destructive cycle your way of thinking creates. All it does is perpetuates fear.iCanHazQBN
- "This guys might have a gun, so I need a gun!" Yeehaw. It's the fucking Wild West. And then you end up with people shooting each other for the dumbest reasonsiCanHazQBN
- ..in the heat of the moment.iCanHazQBN
- typical fallacious slippery slope nonsense and naive fuzzy thinking. and it's not my way of thinking you condescending prick, it's the reality of the situationgilgamush
- If you want the reality of the situation, go compare US gun deaths to other 1st World gun deaths. This is not a civilized country.iCanHazQBN
- all the more reason to be ready to respond with appropriate forcegilgamush
- All that does is escalate the entire situation. He has a gun? I need a gun! He has a bigger gun? I need a bigger gun! It's primitive thinking.iCanHazQBN
- yes, self preservation is a primitive reflex, so what. does that mean it is somehow enlightened to be a victimgilgamush
- and btw, nobody is advocating this arms race fantasy of yoursgilgamush
- LOLOLOLLpango
- I like how ican makes fun of Christians yet has his own made up delusions about civilization. classicyurimon
- The reality is no one can "protect" their family with guns. It would be lottery odds that you could. Make you sleep better? Sure.formed
- but it's pure fantasy to think you can reliably "stop" anything. Too many Red Dawn fantasies running rampant.formed
- I think you overly simplifying everything.yurimon
- Ultimately, it's a fetish in the US justified by our "rights" and "freedoms". Pure fairy tales thinking.formed
- (and before someone jumps on this, I am gun owner and have loved them since I could walk, but I am not disillusion)formed
- I may, though, have to arm myself to protect myself from all these "heros" and open carry nut jobs appearing all over the place. Those are who I am afraid of.formed
- thats the programing at work, for the majority of people.yurimon
- You are most programmed of all yuri. Always spouting the same predictable right-wing libertarian ideology.
Think 4 yrslf!!!yuekit - Gun ownership = fact of life in the U.S. but let's not pretend it has nothing to do with all the mass killings. The stats vs. other countries are pretty clear.yuekit
- spoken like a true media frenzy dickwad. you should read more about where all this ideas come from historically going back to england.yurimon
- There is alot of historical context to back up the argument for this right
insert ignorant response belowyurimon - So guns prevent government from becoming tyrannical but according to you we live under a tyrannical government right now, in a country with highest per capitayuekit
- gun ownership. Doesn't even make sense according to your own logic.yuekit
- oh guad. go research the subject in english law and history.yurimon
- It's not about red dawn, it's about the nutcase chechnian or the deranged white kid or the home invader, I need to be able to meet them with equal force. The gogilgamush
- Government wants you to think guns are bad so you will give up your personal responsibility and become dependant on them like a child. Nothing to do with rebellgilgamush
- Rebellion, its about refusing to submit all personal responsibility in the name of the gubment keeping you 'safe'. When in reality, they can't keep you safe. Ungilgamush
- Unless Tom Cruise and the precogs from minority report swing through, you are on your own while all manner of craziness is going downgilgamush

- situation. those who have land, defense can produce food or those who depend heavy on the machine? this is common sense when things become unsustainableyurimon
- you are just an example of heavy conditioning in your consumption of media, movies. like a cartoon character.yurimon
- I stated what kinds of craziness, are you slow. I said domestic terrorists and home invaders etcgilgamush
