so just listen for a moment

To what

the powers that be want to control us

that is their purpose

in order to control a population you need massive police presence

now for an unarmed population this is easy to acheive

keep them down with fear

they wont fight back so you can make whatever policies you want

now imagine an armed populice though

you send a team of officers to arrest someone for insulting a politician

and now you dont know wether they will succeed or if all officers are gonna come back in body bags because the citizen was dug in and armed to the teeth

you cant oppress an armed peopple

thats the point

right you need not explaining me thats its harder to enforce on an armed populace

right

its an obviousness

this is why our arms are so important to us

we have a very defined and explicit set of rights that our gov recognizes that was put in place by we the people

and the only way to ensure the gov respects those promises is with superior firepower

im not debating the guns here I dont really care this discussion started off with you saying that you need a protection against your own military

which is quite ridiculous

the military industrial complex

the gov

we stay free by our own hands

>and the only way to ensure the gov respects those promises is with superior firepower
you dont have a superior firepower to the gov, and no its not the only way at all

and an added bonus is that when jamal and deshawn break in to steal your tv you can just ventilate them instead of cowering and waiting for daddy gov to come and save us

dude what do you think firepower means
we have 300+ million guns as a low estimate
also how else would yuou ensure the gov respect your rights
asking nicely?

>also how else would yuou ensure the gov respect your rights
asking nicely?

ooh, have you ever wondered how it is in countries besides your own kek?

there are many countries without the armed populace in which the goverments respect the citizens rights

so it can't be the only way

by the benevolence of the gov?

and at any point the gov could just decide to revoke them

the guns is a tradition, there's no real reason to have them really

have you not been paying attention

ive given you several reasons why they are necessary

>by the benevolence of the gov?
and at any point the gov could just decide to revoke them
somehow it doesn't happen in those countries I wonder...

which countries are you speaking of

how it is there are dozens of perfectly free countries in the world without the armed populace

list some

how it is, how come the government doesnt turn on the people there <:thonking:318673885497262091>

list them retard
