It sucks?

2019-12-31 08:01:03 UTC  

God no.

2019-12-31 08:01:21 UTC  

That is just how the world is.

2019-12-31 08:01:40 UTC  

If you are unarmed, you are defanged. Your words have no bite and your self-defense will be lacking.

2019-12-31 08:02:00 UTC  

That be how things are.

2019-12-31 08:03:00 UTC  

It sucks because it makes it extremely easy for people to kill eachother with no skills whatsoever.

2019-12-31 08:03:02 UTC  

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)

2019-12-31 08:03:06 UTC  

However

2019-12-31 08:03:28 UTC  

They've lost touch with reality thinking they can change that that's how the world is

2019-12-31 08:03:38 UTC  

It is just as easy for a person with a knife to kill other people with no skills whatsoever.

2019-12-31 08:03:55 UTC  

Look at fucking London.

2019-12-31 08:04:01 UTC  

No, it's harder. But not by a whole lot

2019-12-31 08:04:11 UTC  

People don't hear knife stabs.

2019-12-31 08:04:17 UTC  

True

2019-12-31 08:04:17 UTC  

People don't fear knives like they do guns.

2019-12-31 08:04:40 UTC  

You see a gun pointed in your direction and most freeze and think.

2019-12-31 08:05:01 UTC  

Dumb ones just get shot dead.

2019-12-31 08:05:30 UTC  

Its true that guns are more obvious as threats, so people are more likely to react in a way to protect themselves

2019-12-31 08:06:12 UTC  

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

2019-12-31 08:06:21 UTC  

However, you can stand in a crowded room and kill 20-30 people in 20 seconds if you're a good shot

2019-12-31 08:06:38 UTC  

You can't kill people as quickly or easily with a knife

2019-12-31 08:06:46 UTC  

You have to be closer to them

2019-12-31 08:06:49 UTC  

A rabid knifeman can end up killing that many too before they know it.

2019-12-31 08:07:05 UTC  

but that's not really the point

2019-12-31 08:07:16 UTC  

because if they are rabid, the only way to stop it is by putting them down

2019-12-31 08:07:21 UTC  

If you're a good shot you can do the same thing from hundreds of feet away with a gun

2019-12-31 08:07:28 UTC  

*and you do that by arming people*

2019-12-31 08:07:57 UTC  

I'm not saying that the answer is creating gun free zones. Its not and they have the opposite effect

2019-12-31 08:08:02 UTC  

hundreds of feet? 30-90 meters?

2019-12-31 08:08:08 UTC  

that takes skill

2019-12-31 08:08:08 UTC  

I'm just saying they're more dangerous

2019-12-31 08:08:21 UTC  

I said if someone's skilled

2019-12-31 08:08:32 UTC  

the kind of people that are capable usually don't have reasons to do it

2019-12-31 08:08:54 UTC  

For the most part, yes

2019-12-31 08:08:57 UTC  

you might get the occasional PTSD dude with no support and a failing network

2019-12-31 08:09:27 UTC  

but every single fucking suicidal shooter is someone who isn't capable, who's a fuckup and who has been left by the wayside to become bitter

2019-12-31 08:09:36 UTC  

99+% of people who train like that aren't interested in killing people randomly

2019-12-31 08:09:52 UTC  

In developed countries anyway

2019-12-31 08:10:20 UTC  

decent people in decent countries with decent cultures being trained decently act decent, whoda thunk it?

2019-12-31 08:10:43 UTC  

the gun problems in the US are not really gun problems

2019-12-31 08:10:48 UTC  

they are social problems
