by the way, how are you dealing with the fact that a 4th to 5th grader could figure out how to make his own firearms from scratch with only the school courses of physics and chemistry even without manuals or instructions? not to mention kids which were raised in a household with a 3D printer?
do you think that the school courses of chemistry and physics needs to be dumbed down so that the kids will never have a clue? perhaps school POUH LIECE or psych squads to interview kids regularly while reporting any deviations?
or should we teach kids gun safety since they are 14 like it was in the 60s and 70s in the US?
do you know that the kind of policies you are setting up are affecting people’s behavior?
what kind of behavior do you think is being established when you are teaching kids from the young age on how to handle a firearm while making it obvious for them that their classmates, their peers are in fact their buddies, that they held a gun together and realized in practice that those peers never have intentions to hurt them. that their government is trusting them by default and telling it to them explicitly that their citizens could be trusted even with the most deadliest weapons by default.
what kind of society do you think you can call that? does that sound like a high trust society to you? well it is, because that is the definition of high trust society, society in which the trust is granted by default, a kind of society that doesn’t assume for you to be guilty by default.
on the other hand, what kind of thinking, what kind of mindset do you think you are breeding when you are telling those same exact kids that their peers couldn’t be possibly trusted to hold a firearm cause they will instantly murder each other? that the citizens they walk those streets with couldn’t possibly be trustworthy UNLESS verified by the government. society which assumes guilt by default unless proven otherwise?
could you possibly call it a high trust society? is that something worth striving for?
