(As a general concept of how a society should run, not intended as a US-specific question.)

I sometimes see people on the internet saying that giving people easy access to guns is too risky and there should be stricter gun control, while simultaneously wanting to abolish the police? I’m just confused on what people really want?

You cant both abolish the police and then also disarm the citizens, gotta pick one. So which is it, internet? Self-policing with guns? Or reform the police?

[Please state what country you’re in]

(Also its funny how the far-right of the US is both pro-gun and pro-police, I’m confused by that as well)

      A gun does considerably more damage more easily than simply being strong.

      You don’t even need to get close. You don’t even need to keep meaning to hurt or kill, a single moment’s pull of the trigger can do it.

              everyone: talking about restricting access to guns
              you: make comparisons to cars
              I: point out cars are restricted use
              you: “great logic homie”

                Go ahead and read thru our posts again I think you missed something.

                So making 16 year olds take a test and train hours to be better shots would prevent gun violence?

                Maybe one day Walt Disney will rule the earth and everyone including every police and military personnel will throw all weapons into a volcano, shit id be right there cheering but you know you’ve wasted enough of my time.

                  Who said 16?

                  Who said the licensing requirements would be the same?

                  All the best to you and your imagination. (Though Walt Disney is very much not anti-gun or war.)
