Which is why I hate sheep for thinking that nobody proper ever wants a weapon that is made for killing people.
Fucking hell, *violence is the ultimate force from which all others flow.*
It is what our society is based on. We subsume violence by handing it over to the state on the provision that if it fucks with us, that is rescinded.
They're right that it sucks that we live in a society where everyone's carrying around extremely deadly weapons. However, they lose track of reality when they try to jump to the conclusion that the answer is to try and remove guns. That won't work
It sucks?
God no.
That is just how the world is.
If you are unarmed, you are defanged. Your words have no bite and your self-defense will be lacking.
That be how things are.
It sucks because it makes it extremely easy for people to kill eachother with no skills whatsoever.
I'm saying that it sucks that's the way the world is, and that's how they feel as well (at least the sheep that is, there are others that want to remove guns for far worse reasons)
However
They've lost touch with reality thinking they can change that that's how the world is
It is just as easy for a person with a knife to kill other people with no skills whatsoever.
Look at fucking London.
No, it's harder. But not by a whole lot
People don't hear knife stabs.
True
You see a gun pointed in your direction and most freeze and think.
Dumb ones just get shot dead.
Its true that guns are more obvious as threats, so people are more likely to react in a way to protect themselves
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
However, you can stand in a crowded room and kill 20-30 people in 20 seconds if you're a good shot
You can't kill people as quickly or easily with a knife
You have to be closer to them
A rabid knifeman can end up killing that many too before they know it.
but that's not really the point
because if they are rabid, the only way to stop it is by putting them down
If you're a good shot you can do the same thing from hundreds of feet away with a gun
*and you do that by arming people*
I'm not saying that the answer is creating gun free zones. Its not and they have the opposite effect
hundreds of feet? 30-90 meters?
that takes skill
I'm just saying they're more dangerous
I said if someone's skilled
the kind of people that are capable usually don't have reasons to do it
For the most part, yes
you might get the occasional PTSD dude with no support and a failing network
