2018-03-28 at 9:38 AM UTCI figure what it really comes down to in a practical sense is whether or not a person is willing to take responsibility for their own safety.
People typically want weapons to protect themselves - people who support the proliferation of weapons, the 'right to bear arms' seek to enshrine the capability for everyone (or at least, themselves) to effectively protect themselves, whereas those who seek to limit access to guns would rather 'outsource' their safety to a third party.
The fact that very few people advocate complete disarmament of private and state interests indicates that most people know, deep down, that removing weapons from society at large is an impractical ideal.
People haven't fundamentally changed in thousands of years - I'd even argue that modern society, starting a century or two ago has had a regressive effect on human evolution given medical, social and scientific advances meant to extend the lives of people who would've died early just decades before (hereditary illness, abnormally low physical strength or intelligence, infertility etc.). The structures we've built and take for granted are not sustainable and will not last forever. The authorities we entrust our safety to are not durable, infallible or permanent, and it's foolish not to plan for an occasion where we can no longer rely on them... If we even can now.
I've always found it amusing that the people advocating for civilian disarmament are also some of the loudest voices decrying reckless police use of weapons.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

News flash, you are part of the excess idiot issue. Boys like you have no concept the freedom real men would rather die for than live without. But that's OK by me because boys like you make woman love me that much more. -

No matter how much cool shit the government/military has, gun owners outnumber them 50 to 1, and that's without taking into account the absolutely massive rates of desertion there would beThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Which what soiboi doesn't get. Most of the miltary is enlisted or noncom. Rank and file by and large will side with freedom and the constitution in that scenario. They will not fire on US citizens m -

the same unterbottoms that want gun control are the same ones that want to surrender all rights and responsibilities to the overseers...including the right to self defense. ala UKistan. -

fun after-class project: go research what would happen to the US gun-crime statistics if niggers and spics were taken out of the equation.
jedi york has a statistic where something like 98% (not a typo) of the gun crime in the city (NYC) is committed by handsome and well tanned individuals. -

Something like 70% of all US gun homicides occur in 5% of counties. The demographics of those counties? Almost all majority black.
Fun facts CNN and MSNBC will not tell you.
Also, the national homicide rate is roughly halved if you exclude blacks and hispanics.
