> If you think your pistol is gonna stop an entity with nuclear weapons, you're insane.

Lololololololo.
That's the dumbest argument ever.

You do know that Europe didn't stop anything with their gun ban, right? Just today someone was arrested with a PIPE BOMB and a gun. They didn't have any mass shooting events before they banned guns. You kids love.pointing to Europe as if it proves anything. In fact, banning guns had ZERO (0) effect on UKs violent crime and murder rates. They were falling before the ban and they continue to fall at the same rate today. It's also the same rate that violent crime is falling in the US.

The problem is violence, ALL OF IT. You are making a bad faith argument about guns. It's.moot.
Oppressive regimes all throughout history have tried to ban weapons from the oppressed. Where are they now?
Your entire argument is a logical fallacy. You are cherry picking one specific violent act, giving it a name, and pretending banning that one thing will fix all of societies problems. It's exactly what Hitler did to the Jews.

We don't need to ban the item, we need to stop the violent tendencies. A violent society without weapons doesn't suddenly become peaceful, it just finds new weapons.

I knew what you meant. I disagree with your details but fully agree with your final conclusion.

It's not even the individual. Well 7nless that individual has millions of dollars in the bank.
We support business and exploitation of the workers for the gain of the wealthy.
We are an oppressive feudal society. We would be an oppressive feudal society even without guns.

we know exactly why. the proble is people would rather blame the tools of violence than even discuss the actual issues, like poverty, racism, wage slavery, etc.

its not because we have more guns than other countries. its because we DONT have any of the civilized features, like healthcare, education, quality of life....
