I agree with the first part. It was supposed to be a check and balance to government power and oppression. It gives people the power to fight back against injustice.
However, in the time of intercontinental missiles, planes, tanks, and remote operated drones, are a bunch of peasants with guns actually going to do anything if the government turned on its people? Does the "right to bear arms" not extend to other, non-gun weapons?
Yeah, you're bringing guns to an unmanned drone fight.
Guns would at least cause some difficulty oppressing people.
you get it
Gun owners are literally the most cowardly people on the planet
Yous are scared of your own fucking shadows
"Whatcha scared of, coward?" "Uh, just other cowards is all" 😂
I don't own a gun. I'm from a country where it's not an option. To assume makes an ASS out of u and me.
Your point is bullshit. Not all people are good. Rapists exist. Serial killers exist. I'd like some options if I ever ran into one.
Imagine a world in which men could not own guns...
But women and intersex persons were given as many guns as they wanted for free.
What would it be like?
Probably better.
yes, only people with the luxury of owning guns could not understand the terror of being unarmed
just because conservatives fight for a right doesn't mean it's bad. this is the 1 thing conservatives are right about
the problem is liberals don't take this as opportunity to promote more female gun ownership and tactical training. a society of armed women is a society of women who will learn math and possess their own bodies
/looks around - That doesn't seem to be the case. A.I. has a better chance of repositioning the social locus of control.
Afghanistan.
If ever there was a case for "more guns = more freedom", right?
Taliban or not, the peasants made it impossible for both Russia and the US to hold for any period of time using a pretty ancient rifle.
I think the IEDs, suicide bombers, and RPGs made a bigger difference in both cases
Well, of course it wasn't just the rifle. But my point was that low-tech armaments (and terrain to an extent) didn't make it a walk in the park no matter how high-tech your military. You still have to hold it.
