Reply to comment by jEsTsBaCk in Bergen Center? Heavy armed police just entered? by DelayedContours

I feel less secure knowing having more heavily armed police is a logical response in our current situation.

And having them there makes you uncomfortable?

Knowing that it is necessary makes it uncomfortable.

What does that have to do with them? Lol so you would rather not have them, still knowing we need them? I don’t get your rationale..

Having armed people around is inherently less safe. I get why it is needed but I wish it was not.

That’s a relative feeling. I don’t feel the same.

Part of that is an objectively factual statement as having armed people around is inherently less safe than having no armed people at all.

Do you not understand how having no one with weapons around is safer than having some people with weapons around? Are you thinking "What would happen if someone showed up with a gun?" because if it isn't clear that would change the situation from no one having weapons to some having weapons.

Thus the claim that no one having weapons is inherently safer than some people having weapons is a logically valid statement that is also objectively true.

We are right back in the beginning. You have no facts to back up your opinion.

Ok explain how having armed people around is safer than not having anyone be armed. Keep in mind if you are talking about the people needing to respond to other armed people you have completely changed the circumstances.

I’m not the one saying it’s factual. I’m the one saying it’s relative. It’s over. Stop clown

But it is. It's like you can't drown if there is no water around. No arms means everyone is safer.

As you are the one making an illogical argument maybe we can avoid being uncivil.

He's pretty much saying it's a sign you are in a potentially unsafe area. In Europe they don't have people with machine guns guarding groceries and t-shirts lol. Honestly reminds me of when I was in Nigeria.
