i think that nobody should dictate to anyone else who wants to be prepared for defense

i think that just like bitcoin overcomes the enemy as a swarm of cyberhornets, similarly, a broadly capable population can stop a standing army, because they have local knowledge, and because they are more numerous, regardless of their smaller armaments

women perform martial roles anyway, medical care, spying, surveilance, guarding, they are very good at keeping their eyes wide and this is a natural thing in most mammal species, the females call the males to battle when the wolves visit

There's a difference between nursing and infantry.

my mother was a nurse... it's a pretty brutal job, not necessarily painful or highly dangerous but very often very unpleasant

Yes this is one of the valid arguements. But there are other ways to achieve this without distributing weapons to everybody including lunatics for example. I think you have heard about minutemen militia and militias in general where the weapons are strictly owned by certain persons that have responsibility for them. Something like thst...

who said anything about distributing

and anyway, if everyone who wants one has them and they carry them for security routinely, what chance does a lunatic have of not having 10 guns pointed at him the moment he swaggers up thinking he's gonna kill someone? zero

you ladies are prone to using collective language, we and us and stuff

just saying

it's not even a vaguely useful mental exercise to make prescriptions about governance that you think are good because none of them work

what works is a good system of adjudication and a collaborative system of law discovery, i know at least Stella should understand that is exactly what the Bible prescribes and everywhere it has been applied has been peaceful and wealthy

Well we all have seen various incidents in schools in USA for example. Seems like lunatics can have theirbopportunity to cause damage when armed, even if they end up dead eventually. After all we are talking about lunatics. Who says a lunatic cares if 10 guns pointing on them? This is what i mean...

They are usually intent on suicide.

then they get it quickly and nobody else gets hurt, if there is people with weapons ready to deal with it

also, you should do some research on a number of the cases, many times:

psychiatric conditions

fbi already had them on their radar

taking psychotropic drugs

bought their weapons with help or out of state

sometimes were even given their weapons

usually it has turned out the FBI was grooming them for their job

the whole thing was suspicious, horrible and tragic and how quickly politicians jumped on it to take weapons away even harder from people who would have shot this psychotic loon if they were not legally prohibited

always, always, always

just do your research, i've seen dozens of these cases, from Port Arthur to Columbine to dozens of others

i mean, all you get if you ban weapons is like the UK, where they just run around with knives and stab people randomly, great, so, what are the people going to do, throw themselves on top of this guy and get stabbed?

Vehicles, my friend, not knives. Vehicles are non-suspicious and can easily be repurposed to cause mass casualties.

Otherwise. 100%.

vehicles are not useful for targeted assassinations though

Truth.

Knives are very good for that, if the assassin isn't concerned about surviving.

which means either they are paid or they value their lives

a lunatic is dead if they don't drop their weapon and surrender

the majority of places in USA where these incidents have occurred it's hard for people to get weapons, colorado, for example... new york, california

also the very same regions where all the police dramas are set, and where gangs are a big problem

yeah, where good, law abiding people can't get weapons beacuse they have bene browbeaten by psychotic socialist gun grabbers into submission

trying to stop violence by banning weapons is like trying to stop drugs by banning drugs

just ask Al Capone about how that works

But i didn't say to ban weapons 😀. Usa has several problems to address to solve problems like this

the main problem in the USA is the federal government at all

There is this crazy part in our founding documents, it was called the Bill Of Rights, amendment number 2. I has statement "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" and we let them fucking infringe anyway.

We were founded on the whole every citizen should be able to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. We have seem to forgotten that part at some point.
