If you were american would you trust the popo/national guard/army if they told you that they would now bet taking ultimate and absolute power over your well being and security?
"irregardless"
If you don't want a gun I don't think you should have one...I even said if you don't want one don't buy one, cool IDGAF.
Oh I know they aren't taking shit....I'm not even against gun control I just love watching the anti gun jerk off's squirm around the rifle accessories ban they swear will work this time around reguardless of it's epic failure rate at preventing jack or shit.
Toss in some "WTF happened to regulation and education > prohibition?? It works everywhere else you say it will, why is this any different?" but but but....Ban pistol grips!! it will work!! lmao...

The pen is mightier than the sword.

I actually agree with that. I have never even held a weapon...felt no need to. I do feel the need now to be trained in how to use and take care of one. I don't fear others as much as I am growing in distrust of the government.....
If it were to come down to a civil war, you will find me on the front lines advocating for a peaceful resolution. You will find me caring for the victims. You will find me with camera and paintbrush in hand, documenting unnecessary carnage, with the hope our children don't make the same mistakes.
*sigh*
This is why I tend not to get too involved in political arguments on lit.

Why is that good? I thought you were a prohibitionist?

Are you or are you not in favor of ending private ownership of weapons?

I doubt it ever has been. I would just hope that you would be safe in your pursuit of peace without violence....if it ever came to that.

Neci, I'd be doing the same thing, but with words rather than images. We'd make a good team. And in the bargain, you get me armed as well, working hard to keep us both safe while we document the horror and foolishness and senseless waste of our countrymen killing each other.
I agree that the pen is mightier than the sword, but I never understood why I had to choose one or the other. Both are excellent tools in the right situation.

No I'm not...I'm for regulation, training and licencing just like we do with our machine guns, which magically we don't have any problems with.
I never once advocated prohibition....that's bat shit right winger philosophy adopted by mostly left wing folks out of fear and ignorance. Not one of you has been able to give a reason why assault weapons are so much more of a threat than any other semi auto..."ITS A SCARY MILITARY WEAPON!!" not even close "BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ONE BAN IT!!!"

If it comes to a civil war, over guns specifically (I'd have to wait and see what secondary and tertiary things were but assuming it was limited to guns) I'd simply button the hatches and let everybody else fight it out. Either side winning doesn't do much that I care about.

As American citizens, we are some of the safest in the world when it comes to advocating for peace. We don't have to fear our doors being knocked in and our children being killed, just for speaking out against the government. We can post freely on the internet and we can let our voices be heard in public. There are so many places in the world where peace advocates risk their lives on a daily basis, just to be heard. We are blessed.
Would rather go down swinging than wind up a martyr any day of the week.
i'll go down slinging paint.
Some are warriors with guns and weapons. Some are warriors by other means. I am not asking you to choose, just to explore the options available to you.

Agreed. I hope it stays that way

The vast majority of people in the west don't have to worry much about speaking out against their government. We're far from unique there and if you factor in Africa and parts of South and Central America there are nations where the government is exactly what Americans always claim they want, afraid of it's citizens. I know if we want a treaty with Mexico we should probably go over the President's head and find the local drug lord.
Not saying that I'm not happy we don't fear our government, I'm just saying that you make this sound like it's something unique or even terribly rare in the world. We'll see how the Middle East shakes down once all this turmoil passes in another couple of years.
