You don't seem to have thought about what would have happened if one of them took out a gun and started shooting at you. It's interesting that the possibility doesn't enter into the fantasies of would-be have-a-go heroes. You just assume that because you have a gun you have sufficient control of the situation. Like isn't like that. Too many variables...

I don't know of a single Western country where only the government is armed. I know of many where only the Police and the military are armed, but none of them are totalitarian.

It always amuses me when ignorant people like you rant about freedom (as though you invented it) despite living in what is in many respects a very authoritarian country that has absolutely no respect for the freedom of people it tortures without even having given them a fair trial. Then again, why would I expect anything more than blatant hypocrisy from someone who comes across as being so badly educated?

And if they get sufficient votes laws will be changed accordingly. It appears that for you it is hard to understand is that in a society where almost no one carries firearms, people simply don't feel the need to carry handguns themselves (or wear body armor for that matter). > so I see why you would pick that position, as any other > position your have you at odds with your government, then you would > have to be anti-dingo or whatever as well as anti-US. I'm free to say that I want the right to carry firearms, I'm free to establish an organization to lobby for the right carry firearms. I'm free to establish a political party for this very purpose and participate in the elections we have (at least) every 4 years. I'm also free to say I don't like our government and that the man in charge is an incompetent asswipe with a tard face and should be cleaning toilet bowls instead of running the country. I'm not free to kill or wound other people, unless it for self defense. Nor I'm allowed to threaten people with murder or bodily harm. But even that could change if sufficient people in my country would believe that would be a good idea. > I believe this is the greatest country ever. If it wasn't then so > many people would not be trying to come here... There are many countries (mostly in the western world) where many people want to immigrate to. However, like the USA the motivation typically economical rather than freedom (to carry firearms or otherwise). Based on what you wrote in this thread I have got the impression that you haven't seen many countries except the USA, nor know much about other countries. |
