How I really see it, is guns give people an unreal sense of superiority or strength and creates a nasty industry across the globe. There are very few people that really used their guns to protect their families, it's a good excuse to spend money and go have fun.
Sorry to get in this thread. I do agree if government are allowed to have them the people too.
People with interiority complexes with the power of a batch are going to use that power to feel superior against others, not to defend them selfs.
Totally see your point and for the sake of understanding I partially agree with you.
For my understanding, do guns give governments or "people with authority" superior power against others? Eg a police officer might feel superior to others when having a gun.
And this applies to most of government employees/enforcers, too.
As some other Nostriche said it. I am pro gun free society. But government needs to go first as they claim to be superior in their judgements and actions speak louder than words.
But the realistic take is that this is never going to happen. So it's equal rights for all to bear arms that can kill. Almost all material things can be used to kill anyways, so it's about making it easier.
Free trade to fulfill bilateral needs
An impartial monetary system
And evolution of consciousness
Are the decisive questions of our time. The combination ofthee things mentioned above will increase sanity in individuals and the collective.
