Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.
Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.
This is a difficult topic because on the one hand I don’t believe banning weapons addresses the root problems of violence in the first place (access to automatic weapons in the USA has decreased yet mass shooting are way up), but at the same time recent events have shown that despite being the most armed populace in the world, U.S americans refuse to even lift a finger while people are being ripped off the streets and shoved through concentration camps.
An armed people can still be a docile people.
I will mention though, even with bans- it is extremely easy to produce automatic firearms both conventional and 3-printed. I’m not convinced that a ban would be effective at hindering mass shooters in the U.S. We can bring up the statistics of other countries that lack the same firearm access of the US but I’m not sure those are apples to apples comparisons given the differences in material conditions.
