If you do that, your government will never respect you. I don't understand why people have so much blind faith in regimes run by and for the benefit of the owner class.
What does this even mean? Are countries with high gun ownership examples of societies high in "respect"? Like Japan, South Korea... no wait
Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Swede, Austria
? Yes Switzerland and a few others have high gun ownership, but how does that help the thesis?
Their government is based on the principle that you have adult people who own their piece of land, will defend it with force, and government represents their interest along with capital class.
Moreso, US has no gun culture. I don't give a fuck a what all of the sharp shooter wanna be got to say.
Until, the gun culture holds idiots accountable for the gun ownership, we won't stop gun shootings.
That's includes the state that enforces its own laws but also 2a enthusiasts. There is a serious lack of respect for gun ownership in US. These people should not own guns and that takes culture and law.
There is also the point that if the police don't have guns, who can safely respond to gun crime? The majority of gun crime in Canada is committed with illegal handguns.
Police, with non-lethal weapons. Though I agree this is a very unbalanced scenario, so of course the police should have some gun availability until gun crime becomes very rare.
