    Oh yeah, and all yours 1.2 guns per person are doing absolute wonders right now, when you pedo in charge is rounding up people to put in concentration camps and starting wars all over the world. All your guns will start working any time now, liberating you from fascism.

      The utility of gun rights as a potential defense against tyranny isn’t proven to be zero by the existence of tyranny, because guns are not a complete solution. I think it’s likely they would be rounding up more people by now, with less expense and difficulty, if Americans didn’t have guns.

        This is the same circular reasoning, with the added bonus of “all the countrepoints are actually points in my favour because I would like it to be so”.
        The reason they are able to be so aggressive, the reason they’re so militarised, the reason they start interaction with people guns first is because they have an excuse of “well, everyone can be armed, we need to be prepared”. And now they used it to build an army against you, that you can’t do anything about.
        You let them do it, thinking you can stop them using guns somehow, when the time comes, not realising that the time came long ago and you were very busy stroking your guns and killing each other to notice.

      It would have already crumbled to the ground in the 1900’s if we didn’t have them.

      The US government cares only about money. They don’t give a fuck about us, as evidenced by our healthcare system.

      We are expendable to them. Had we not have the guns we have now I truly believe it would have all ended for us a lot sooner and be significantly worse than it is now.

      I know other countries manage. Other countries aren’t managed by a bunch of rich pedophiles that will let children and people die for the sake of “saving” $50 on an insurance claim.

      Tell you what how about this, how about they take the guns from the police and ice and IRS and dea and atf and then we can sure talk about getting rid of our guns. But that will never ever happen.

        Remind me, what exactly did you do with your guns in the 1900s to prevent tyranny? I don’t remember any armed uprising against a dictator in 1900s.
        If you weren’t so busy running around shooting each other with your precious guns, you might be able to see the depths your country fell into and maybe do something about it, but you didn’t, because you were hoping that when “the tyrant” comes you can just shoot him with your trusty remmington, but when tyrant comes, you only cheer him on
