I consider myself anti-gun in the sense that I don't think having guns actually protects you from states, because the damage caused by states to its people is no longer correlated to their ability to bear arms against them.

the argument of the US 2nd amendment, however valid at some point in time, seems to me to have been completely nulled at this point.

IMHO, violence and armed conflicts are more a symptom of a failing system than a strategy through which to defend or advance any idea.

I accidentally combined two posts in my head when responding, so #2 is more a response to this one.

Decentralized resistance with small arms can successfully counter powerful state militaries. This has been proven recently in Afghanistan. Don't underestimate what an armed population can achieve. The state wants you to believe you are powerless.
