Guns were created by cowards, since it's man made they'll feel weak without some sort of weapon/explosion
I agree. You know once I stated how it would be better if the World was like Naruto, and we had swords and kunai as weapons rather than guns and grenades. Swords and Kunai would be much better for self-defence purposes of course and less terrifying than guns and grenades.
Poverty is one of the factors. Yah, that's true. :yeah:
But I'm sure you're familiar with this argument: cops can't teleport to where I am to protect me. In fact, the time they take to get to me, say 5 minutes, I probably would have been laid to waste and the criminal would have taken the road already. If I'm dead, all the cops can do is pursue my killer, but how does this benefit me, a dead guy? All too often, especially in the case of break-ins, there is no time to call the cops, only time to defend yourself and your family.
Sorry, what I mean is that if those in authority are loyal, educated and trustworthy, then it would be ideal for them to possess weapons. Along with this, if they establish a legislation on the abolition of weapons and arms, then this would also be effective and thoughtful. Laws and legislation are like bricks. In order to build a suitable and stable place you must get the right bricks which are all the right size but not only this, you need some mortar in order to help you build a perfect and firm place. The mortar in this case, would be the people trying their best in promoting a safe and peaceful haven full of love and justice in which ever way they can so long as it doesn't have side effects.
Those with the authority to enforce laws aren't as goody-two-shoes as you proclaim:

We can't leave responsibility to power hogs, you might say this was a one case scenario, but in truth, police abuse our rights everyday and lose no sleep over it. In countries like Great Britain, not even the cops have guns; armed cops and unarmed civilians is nothing short of a police state.
Thanks for sharing the video. It was quite shocking and has made me realize that the case of corrupt people in authority is among the most bothersome and problematic things to ever exist. It's because of this, that the World is getting ****ed up. U_U
While having a peaceful world is great and all, human nature inevitably brings rise to conflict. I see weapons, when legally bared, as a necessary evil and deterrent. It's unfortunate that the world works that way, though, but that's reality.
Maybe once we start colonizing other planets, we'll see a decrease in overall violence.
Your right, humans natural believe that bringing conflict will bring peace. Well, actually it's not entirely their fault since they all want peace but in their own ways, while the response of those who oppose their methods causes wars to occur. Then I say, that's when the decision of which of the two or more sides is the most rational and just. The people who are civilized and count of bringing peace through love and fairness are the heroes in my eyes and should be in anybody's eyes. People power; that's what democracy is and is about people working together to change the world for the better.
It isn't like there is a
Black Walmart where you go to buy illegal goods and the government ignores them. It is a network of smugglers and underground salesmen selling highly profitable good that are not normally available due to government restrictions. There isn't a master plan for the black market, it just exists because a demand exists. During the prohibition the black market was for alcohol and the cops that were busting distilleries by day were drinking at speakeasies at night.
The government is the last people I want armed. They are far more dangerous than any person with a gun. The USA owns a depot of VX-gas, a highly deadly gas carried by the wind. There is enough in a single depot to kill half of the USA with one accident that releases the shit, no person with a gun could be that dangerous ever. Almost every war in history was started by governments and they had us die in the millions to fight for a petty cause. Not only that but governments mass-murder their own people and get away with it, the low estimate is 260 Million people have been murdered by their own government in the past century. The number may be much higher since the governments didn't record their deaths. Hitler was democratically elected, do you think it was a good idea for the Jews and the German people to be disarmed?
We even overthrow democracies in order to obtain resources:

The government is the last person that should be armed. The people are the ones that should be armed.
I understand. It really is unfortunate to know that even those in authority are among the people that spread corruption and instability among our homelands. U_U However, it's never too late to give up my friend. The root cause of this is clearly because of the money in it. But there's no benefit in "dirty money". I feel this should be obvious to most of the intelligent folks. Money can be a really evil thing. It can twist people's minds. I mean it's worse than Kotoamatsukami.
Naw seriously, people need to see through these illusions and wake the **** up. :yeah:
About this VX gas, hasn't it been outlawed by the CWC? :| Damn, this is scary shit. It's not just about the US alone, I mean there are a large handful of countries with weapons of mass destruction.
Such weapons and equipment are an undeniable atrocity to our world. U_U I didn't know Hitler was elected democratically. I always thought of him as a tyrant who forced his way through the masses and reached the top, only to get cold-blooded revenge. By the way, it depends on how people should be armed when you say you want them to be armed. I would always feel unsafe if people around me were possessing a pistol or assult rifle etc. However, if they possessed a something like a baton or even body armor, it would be much less frightening and smarter, wouldn't you agree? Any object can be considered a weapon if you think about it. :dunno:
We live in a world ruled by hypocritical leaders, who constantly preach peace, yet knowingly prepare for war.
The reason they don't prohibit weapons is the same as that of cigarettes.
MONEY
This is also very true, I agree. Well it's all up to the people as in the general public. Only they can sort things out I guess. Democracy is indeed a good method in politics if you know how to use it. :yeah:
So we can protect ourselves. When someone comes in and threatens your family what do you do? Blast them of course with every improvement on something it will have it's down sides guns aren't the problem cause with or without them people will still kill with knives or even with their bare hands they just need to handle gun distribution properly
My friend, please read my first post correctly. What i'm trying to say is that it doesn't have to be this way. Being on the offensive will not stop conflicts. We shouldn't create illusions by going on the offensive and yet making it seem as if we're on the defensive. This is just like putting a fire out with water alone. However, the truth is that not every fire is extinguished with only water. There are other ways, like using fire retardants. Some fires get extinguished with gas, some with foam or even gel. The point being, all of them help solve the problem. I hope you get the picture bro.
I'm sorry but half of that isn't making sense. If I take what you said literally, I can say that this can happen anyway. However, by taking away and abolishing weapons you are drastically limiting the probability of such occurrences. :scorps:
