        For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn’t matter when they have tanks and drones.

        that’s not rly how guns work, if I was rly good with guns I could kill someone with a .22lr if they had a 9mm and were bad with guns, the thing is different guns are good for different things, you won’t be able to use a shotgun effectively at 50m++ for example or a sniper rifle at 7m–

        also how good you are with guns isn’t a genetics thing like physical strength

        of course I’d rather live in a world without guns, but the moment one person has a gun everyone should have one

            yeah, I do belive that if any all countries should have nukes

            > I always wonder why the usa is so against iran or north koera getring nukes

            this is because their intention isn’t for countries to defend themselfs, but to be the world power and have a monopoly on violence (as every state does), that’s also the reason I don’t like the state.

            now, why do you think most states don’t want you to get guns?
