It would be much more effective to curb crime by meeting everyone’s basic needs than giving everyone a gun.
If crime is reduced by meeting everyone’s needs, then it shouldn’t matter whether people have guns or not. So let’s have strong social safety nets and quit pissing people off by taking away their hobbies and property.
I mean if someone makes death threats
This is a clear suggestion that Anon was making death threats. Don’t be a liar
Given how nonsensical your first comment was, I don’t think you had a point
I mean if someone makes death threats to someone else they should absolutely have their guns taken away.
The thing is, this isn’t shown in the original post. Also, making death threats on its own is illegal, red flag laws aren’t required if the person making the report has proof.
Said victim could even get a restraining order if they were worried about violence, which won’t completely assure safety but will go down a process that actually uses due process and doesn’t violate anyone’s rights.
I don’t understand how you justify in your head adding guns into any of those situations you listed.
If you own guns, you’re supposed to have a secure way to store them. Especially if you have kids. While some people do leave guns sitting around the house, that is strongly discouraged.
You’re supposed to keep guns inside a safe unless you’re about to use it such as going to a range or hunting. And best practice is to keep ammo secured in a separate safe as an extra measure. And when you are handling a gun, you always check if it’s loaded and follow the 4 rules of gun safety
Fair enough
FYI, women are just as capable of being terrible people as men are
The comments here are a good example of how the gun control movement is the left-wing counterpart to the pro-life movement. It’s origin lies in emotion, not reason. It’s filled with fallacious arguements and when that fails to convince someone, the movement tends to move towards snarky comments and outright hostility.
Evem those that are trying to be reasonable by drawing conclusions based on data almost always are using cherry-picked statistics that was fed by those trying to manipulate them.
You’re forgetting that the US lost 3 wars to guerilla tactics, 2 of those in the last decade
