There will always be someone, looking to steal fruits of your labour. That's why having guns is important.

One person with a gun can never hold out against an organised enemy.

That's why it's important to have the most organised, strongest, most coherent society. Working together with tolerance and fairness.

The most organised, strongest, most coherent societ is attacking brown people around the world. Open your eyes.

First, build a society that would work together with tolerance and fairness and then talk about gun control. Impossible to do this the other way round.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

The trouble is it's quite hard to build a safe and fair society, when a section of the potential members of it insist on holding the others at gunpoint, and saying the slaughter of their children in school is the price society should pay for their beliefs.

I mean what is important enough for these idiots to actually have a social dialogue around it? It's totally unreasonable.

You say only the government should have the power to hold people at gunpoint. Use any euphemism you like, but you are taking a pro-totalitarianism stance. Genocide can only happen after people willfully disarm themselves and allow a small group of "protectors" to obtain a monopoly on violence.

No. You're saying, take guns from people and deal with the government later. You won't stand a chance.
