    You just made the argument for gun rights.

    Definitely not. Gun ownership should be abolished like slavery was. A knife has good use for cutting and cooking, but a gun, especially in private hands, has absolutely no reason to exist.

      Americans phrase it a bit different:
      ‘Fuckin guns fuck yea!’

        So you completely accept the state’s monopoly on violence

        Better than spreading this to everydays mass shooting event culprits, don’t you agree?

            First: Is “every redneck yokel and his dumb brother is allowed to own an arsenal” in anyway better than a government monopoly in that regard?

            Second: This would of course need properly selected and trained policemen, not those trigger-happy yokels that the US uses instead.

            My position is from a country where “Police Brutality” is seen as an American or other third world country thing. We don’t allow every random idiot to own a gun. We have properly trained police. We therefor also don’t have issues like Uvalde and George Floyd. For an American, it is hard to draw a straight line between those factors, but in the rest of the civilized world, it is the standard.

                There is no such thing as a state that can be trusted with violence.

                Oh, and trusting random yokels with violence is better?

                    Unironically yes.

                    My condolences.

                    Now are you going to answer what I’m saying or are you just bowing out of all the points you tried to raise and which I answered?

                    I answered all the relevant ones.

        That’s the whole point of the state. And no, you guys are not fighting the US army with its armored vehicles, rockets, bombs, drones, etc. with your guns if it comes to this.
