Guns exist. They will continue existing. They will continue being used in every society. Calling them “lame” has no coherent meaning politically. The questions needing to be answered are who will use them, and toward which ends?
I don’t care what it means politically it’s my personal view guns are lame. Why should I have to compromise my beliefs because whoever else decided they wanted to be violent assholes. Do what you like but the constant rhetoric about arming yourself is tiring. I don’t know what the end game is supposed to look like, some kind of mutually assured destruction scenario where everyone is armed to the teeth?
Mutually-assured destruction is inapplicable to small arms.
Regardless, a responsible attitude entails developing personal beliefs congruent with the surrounding political reality.
Emphasizing one’s own individual partiality, from within a political frame, serves as an obstruction of essential discourse.
Additionally, considering the matter as affecting someone personally, the day may come that violent thugs go after you or someone you love, with self defense being your only means of preservation.
Certainly is in Kurdistan.
America is fucked for a million reasons.
So, gun ownership isn’t a determining factor in preventing tyranny, but it will increase the problems of violence in society. Noted.
It literally is protecting people from tyranny in Rojava as I mentioned, but hey ignore that to only focus on the failure that is America.
I haven’t ignored it; I told you that if it works in one place and not in another, it’s because it’s not the key element.
If works in those tiny little counties surely it’s fine. /s Guns are lame.
