Reply to comment by RedModus in medical malpractice kills 500k Americans every year, but the perceived good outways the bad, food for thought by RedModus

Yeah those things are totally related sure and yeah the germans are terribly oppressed in what they can and can't say because the germans are totally not constantly talking smack about their own politicians noooooo.

Armed populations are harder to oppress it's exactly why Germany got rid of all their guns right before they did some oppressive stuff. But you can trust the government it's for your safety

Yet i can't recall ever hearing any german complain that they need weapons to defend their rights against the government. Amongst 80+ millions they must exist for sure but they seem extremely rare.

  • As others have stated it's not like regular firearms will be enough to seriously put up a fight against your government if the military is on their side (and if not, you won't need to bring you own guns most likely). Sure it would be better than nothing but you're keeping weapons around which cause many deaths each year for an absolutely minuscule benefit in a hypothetical scenario that is very unlikely to happen.

Yeah that rifle you have will definitely make the guy in a tank think twice or the guy with a rocket launcher.

So if they are not that dangerous you don't have any problem with everyone having them.
