Anti Gunners Guide to a Peaceful Society
So you're anti-gun, good for you! You also happen to be pro gun violence. You didn't know? Well consider me your guide...
I'll open with a few questions so let's get in it shall we?
Which is a bigger threat to you: A police officer pulling you over when your car matches the description of a violent, dangerous person and this makes him scared or...a man sitting miles away watching tv with a few guns in a safe upstairs? Be honest.
Which one of those men above has societal permission to exercise deadly force when he just becomes "scared enough"?
Why do you call the police when there is trouble if you do not believe in using guns-do you tell the police to leave their guns behind when solving your problems? If not you absolutely believe in the use of guns to solve some problems, we agree here by the way...
Would you want the police to bring AR-15 rifles if you felt the threat was that big? You kind of have to say yes here otherwise the alternative is to let the rampaging murderer or whoever the threat is have the advantage in the fight-that's not smart really and it ties in nicely to my above question.
What's that? government can be trusted with weapons? Assuming you've never read a single history book and have come to that conclusion let's examine it. Government is made up of people. Whatever disqualifies a citizen from owning a weapon also disqualifies government agents...they are just people. Really, they are-unless you believe in this...
You imagine them to be something more than normal. They aren't. Somehow you give them a pass. Not only do you give them a pass but you want them to kick open my door and take any weapons I may have if you don't want me to have them. It doesn't look like you've really thought about this to be honest. Only the police should be armed but is that how it works? Even in countries that have gun bans people are still murdered by use of guns...Those are real people. Let's say you get your gun ban and that portion of victims who are still killed by a gun....imagine YOU are in that statistic. What did you change? Hell, it doesn't even matter, being murdered with a gun or being murdered by a baseball bat beating doesn't really matter does it? The person is still dead. Hell the gun is usually quicker...
I'm really sick and tired of this nonsense. I think you know that nothing you're asking for makes any kind of sense. Just know that this is why people don't listen to you, don't take you seriously or make fun of you. Not because they are heartless monsters but because you sound stupid to people who thought about this issue beyond a few slogans and blogs favorable to your views. So long as you sit there thinking one group of people is fine to be armed and the other isn't when there is NOTHING to back this claim you will be seen as dumb. It isn't that "gun owners are stubborn" or "they care more about guns than kids" or whatever you tell yourself to feel morally justified. It's that most people have thought this through and your ideas are not only violent but counter-productive.
Yes, violent. As I mentioned earlier you're totally ok with gun violence as long as the police are using it against citizens to take their guns away. Yeah what did you think would happen? Trump would come out there in a wizard robe and hat with a wand and once he waved it all the icky guns just disappear? In order to take things by force you need....duh-force. The fact that gun owners do not see you as an immediate threat akin to a person hiring a hitman or mercenary speaks volumes about their patience, understanding, and yes compassion. Afterall the gun owners aren't wanting to send the police to your door for ANY reason now are they? You are the violent one. You are the heartless monster. You would be ok with someone being killed by the police for just peacefully owning something you disapprove of. I don't care if you carried a sign and claim to care about kids-your proposed solution will result in violence. There is no escaping this fact. Enjoy the rest of your day knowing this.

I've racked up .01 cents so I'm good...
