I dont want gun control but im in favor of total gun ban. Because in my country a lot killings occur day by day and guns are involved, many people innocent people lost their lives because of uncontrolably guns on the streets and the authorities are helpless.
Can you please elaborate on the issue? I am sure alot of us here would listen. What country and region are you from?
I am sure, that you understand, that firearms are ultimately - tools. Tools used by human beings. Neither wars nor violence were any less prevalent before gun powder, quite the opposite is true. Thats why tows around all of Euroasia had actual walls circling them off.
Now, please. Go on.
I do not understand How does the way people kill a person affect the psyche of people? I still will shoot a person with a firearm or they will cut it with a knife, still the result will be the same. Therefore, if we talk about the legalization of firearms, we will need to talk about the legalization of cold weapons, as well as kitchen knives.
I am interested what the guy has to say, he may be from war torn region.
But you are right, that was my original point. Guns are tools, that are beside other things, good at killing humans and animals. If we ban them, then knives, axes, pickaxes, hammers, screwdrivers, cars, planes - all of those are just marginally worse tools at killing.
Pre-gunpowder world was actually full of constant warfare for the precise reason, that violence was not efficient. Developed countries never had less violence than they do today and our cities these days can exist without walls and guard towers.
And most of world peace comes from the gun freedom in America and Switzerland. How does this work? Governments that would normally make slaves of their people are in a catch-22 situation.
First, the people of the world don't understand how their governments would make slaves of them. So, they think that they don't need guns.
Governments of the world can't enact slavery, because their people would get arms and ammo from America and Switzerland. If governments made a show of slavery, their sleeping people would wake up to how powerful gun freedom is.
This is happening in the Middle East, Africa, and areas of Pakistan right now. ISIS and others are trying to take away freedom from people. America is fighting to stop it, and to uphold freedom.
