Why don't countries prohibit the use of weapons?

[Shunsin no Shisui]

Seriously, people are complaining about World Peace and yah I feel 'em. U_U Well then, what more logical way is there to bring World peace than to completely ban the use of weapons like pistols, shotguns, rifles, explosives and even the ones that are known to be most destructive such as missiles and nukes. :|

Now you might ask, what are we going to do if there is war? how are we going to defend ourselves?

In actuality, we don't even need to think too much about this. If we could just create something or rather a few things that can counter weapons and any offensive equipment that is likely to inflict harm, it would be a heroic act. Such things are not impossible for our leaders and superpowers like UN and NATO, especially if we consider how we are improving and advancing, technologically of course. :yeah:

Why do you think Hashirama and Minato are my fave Kages. This is probably a little random but it's still related. *_* Let's analyze their fighting style....

Spoiler

Hashirama - throughout his battle with Madara, he was on the defensive and hardly laid a hit on him. He uses the wood style which seems to be effective for defensive purposes. First off, he used the Mokuryu which made it seem as though he was going to attack but then we saw him restrain the Kyubi with it. Then he was able to catch the Kyubi's TBB and retaliate. All through the fight he was just blocking and restraining Madara's offense attacks. Eventually, Hashirama went serious and we finally thought some shit was gonna happen. But Hashirama still stuck to the defense and subdued the Kyubi. This is why Hashirama is considered the one who defends and creates peace, unlike Madara who is the destroyer.

Minato - if he analyze his battle against Obito(Tobi) and the Kyubi, he was also not much of an attacker but more of a person who suppresses and counters(much like Hashirama). He uses FTG to enhance his speed in order to either dodge and avoid or dodge and counter. Minato also uses the Space-time Barrier technique(one of my fave jutsu ) which he uses to warp away any attack to another location that is marked by FTG sealing formula. Among his arsenal are also Fuinjutsu(sealing techniques) which Minato uses for purpose other than for offense, again showing us that he is a rational person who is a peace-maker yet is always prepared for the worst.

Naruto is only one example of many which can be used for our benefit in the real world. However, you might say "but this is only fiction". Nevertheless, you must understand that maybe not entirely but fiction is still based on reality in some way. Therefore we can always use fictional resources for our advantage in order to benefit ourselves in the most effective and most sustainable way possible. Just thought I'd share this... :O

Thanks for reading, tell me what you think?

 

[-Phoënix Flower-]

Totally agree with ya bro U_U

 

[SpaceTime]

Naive thoughts.

If you take weapons from the people, those with the means to attain them illegally will gain an advantage.

Benjamin Franklin once said "Those who are willing to give up their freedom for security, did not deserve freedom to begin with."

 

[Paramour]

I totally agree with you, damn true! =)

And I swear; I love how you compare and mix Naruto with Real Life. ^__^

 

[Corgi]

Because it's our rights as human's. Then they would be taking away our rights. Next they'd probably take away more rights, like the internet. Soon we'd be robots following our leaders. Plus, technically, nuclear warfare is already prohibited.

 

[Underdog ninja]

Drugs are illegal, think about that.

this buddy... thats why countries didnt prohibit the weapon use btw ,,,, i like ur thaught .

 

[TheRedAndGreenBeast]

I agree with you but countries do not trust each other. There is also the terrorist issue that the governments would find harder to tackle. There is no need for fighting in this world.

 

[ANiMUS]

People like the feeling of being able to protect themselves from others a lot of them feel more secure with their guns than without.

 

[Punk Hazard]

Outlawing weapons will ensure security huh? Tell me more about how criminals follow the law.

This. I'm a liberal but I'd NEVER sacrifice our right to arms.

When the world goes to shit or when the government screws us over/unable to protect us, our arms will be the only things that could.

Also, there are probably hundreds of millions, if not billions, of arms owned by private citizens in the US alone. How would any position of authority possibly take every single one away?

 

[Shunsin no Shisui]

Totally agree with ya bro U_U

Thank you for understanding...

Not if you create laws and then maintain them. I think you misunderstood a little, or maybe it was my fault for not mentioning it in the thread. I don't mean to say to prohibit the weapons completely from the countries. We all know that is impossible, especially considering how much lethal weapons there are in the World. There are vast numbers of guns and explosive materials to be used as weapons. I also don't mean to say that all of this will happen over night. It will take time and that is only realistic and likely to be sustainable. By the way, the leaders of countries could make harsh yet reasonable and just laws in order to ensure safety of citizens and everyone over the areas they are governing.

Thanks for reading, tell me what you think?

Regardless, if you're using reality as a basis for fiction, you can clearly analyze the faults of the superpowers in the Naruto verse. Remember although he was still ready to fight and ready for the worst, Minato could not save Rin, he could not protect everyone.

In light of the events in Naruto we can also derive the true human nature, one that deceives and destroys. Not every man will be as idealistic as you, nor will every man wish for a utopia. Taking away weapons and changing the system of a clashing world would cause uproar and more violence. To date even many Americans find it offensive when there president speaks so strongly of gun control and the "good" that can come of it...

But I ask you, if not for guns, and weapons, many may die. Although many may suffer, it's a necessary evil and the lesser of the two. I would love your idea and frame that on our Earth, but it is just as fictional as Naruto is, in fact implementing something like what you say here is to me, impossible. Although the thought is generously benevolent.

OP love you man, your thoughts are intelligent, wise in fact. But its naive to think it would be possible in today's growing society and in future generations stemming from this one.

 

[Gitch]

Well you cant have weapons in Canada and guess what ? still less crime than in USA

Edit: anyone who goes in a blind rage and have a weapon is gonna use it .... end of the line

 

[Unbiased King]

You must be registered for see links

I just had to. =D

 

[MaGilla]

UN and NATO aren't super powers. are you talking about taking all weapons away? or just weapons owned by civillians? prohibiting the use of weapons globally will never happen. the main reason why we (the U.S) havent been taken over by another country is because of all the weapons that we civillians own. so weapons arent bad, its just the bad people that use them malicously. sorry its jumbled but its basically the jist of it.

at bold : yea back in 1800 that was a good reason ....

You have a bigger right to ensure that the area in which you live in is safe and stable. Do you like living in a corrupt environment where crime is rampant and where many evils occur? U_U

Drugs are illegal, think about that.

No, it depends on what drugs you mean? Last time I checked, everybody loves visiting the Pharmacy to buy medicine. *_*

I agree with you but countries do not trust each other. There is also the terrorist issue that the governments would find harder to tackle. There is no need for fighting in this world.

Why do you think countries don't trust each other? :| I don't know why terrorists exist(there are various reasons) but what I do know is that if it weren't for industries making so many weapons, the terrorists and anyone else wouldn't go out killing people just like that. U_U

People like the feeling of being able to protect themselves from others a lot of them feel more secure with their guns than without.

There are other ways of being protected. Not saying it's wrong to have bodyguards but why do you think there was less gun crime and bloodshed in the past? :|

Criminals are criminals, they are known to disobey the law. However if the law and policies are disciplined and yet intelligent and rational at the same time, we can get somewhere. :scorps:

thats why the japanese never attacked "the mainland" during WW2 they just bombed an island off of Hawaii. but nowadays the only places that can be targeted are cities cause most of them have banned weapons of all types, but they wouldnt be a foot march battle, it would just be missiles controlled by governments...
