By also disarming the people
How exactly do you propose we do that?
That's not my competence, I'm not a politician
Well there are many reasons that disarming everyone in the U.S. would be virtually impossible and generally not a good idea (though those reasons only apply to the U.S.).
I can absolutely see many hurdles in the way. However that doesn't change my belief that people should not own guns, and we should move towards a society without guns. There's exceptions of course, but those apply to a very small percentage of the population.
True. No guns = no gun violence. Simple.
My issue is that banning guns for civilians creates a false sense of security. Criminals who are going to commit a mass shooting anyway will carry a gun whether it's illegal or not. But because everyone else is unarmed and believes that applies to everyone, people can no longer defend themselves. Only an idiot would shoot at a crowd of people who are all armed. It's kind of like a weapon that never needs to be fired situation.
Yes, i'm aware that there are other countries where civilians don't have guns, and there is no gun crime. But those countries don't have the same history with guns that the U.S. does, so it's a false equivalency
@Damarus @psx_crab that would require use of force, its not gonna end well
I guess then you're cooked
@Damarus yeah, better to just leave if you can!
Oh I'm good here in Europe, we do fine without guns
