Do you really want to know why #Germany, in spite of having >40M illegal guns in circulation isn't boiling or experiencing even a fraction of #violence the #USA does even when adjusted per capita and #guns?
I think #JStark was right in terms of "#Deterrence" as a means to discourage bad actors.
- Just like noone's trying to mug #cops and relieve them of their weapons because the attempt will at least end up getting handcuffed by them or worse...
OFC I wish for a peaceful world where no arms are needed, but sadly forcing the masses to be disarmed only makes them weak to opression by [non-] state actors and dependent on [de-facto] state actors for their protection.
- Not that I'm an anarchist: I don't think Governments are inherently and irredeemably bad per concept: But what's important is the kind of people in power and how Power is split and fractured to make facism hard if not impossible ...
I refuse to violate the rules and laws despite disagreeing with them as a matter of principle: It's harder to advocate for change or be taken seriously as a convict - even in the case of a victimless crime...
