MODERATORS
Weapons are a human right, completely independent of anything about rebellions or keeping the government in check.
Individually, if you prevent a person from carrying a weapon when they’re in a dangerous situation, it’s like locking them into a cage with a hungry tiger in it.
It’s perfectly natural for a person to be able to reach out and pick up a weapon. To block someone from this takes active effort.
And if that person is in a dangerous situation, and you make that effort to prevent them from being armed, you’re actively violating their rights.
I'd say I am a prime target for random violence but I wouldn't want weapons to be legalized here.
Does being a prime target for random violence mean you've experienced random violence?
Mostly just people trying to let out their frustrations. I can handle them. It's a feature, not a bug that there's no weapons involved.
I'm taking the other comment about not arguing with stupid people.
