  • That’s what I said short term, I do thunk that an armed workforce would be a great boon but first of all the cost of weapons does block considerably the access of the workforce and what I see is not weapons going to the worker is the regular citizen becoming a parallel army in the reserve, with the current culture of the USA I think better gun control would save many lives, there is an argument to be made that once it gets restricted it wouldnt turn back and that I can see but right now with the popular revolution a seemingly far into the horizon it might not be a bad move to restrict weapons


  • That’d be true if the people owning guns were ones that stood against the state, but if you look at the history of the US you’ll see that even where there was a more lax gun control the people who used it to stand against oppression like the black panthers where denied the right to own guns, so as I see the right to bear arms on the US is mostly used by people who echo the oppression of the capitalist system, and mass shooters, that’s where I stand from, being an outside observer from another country, so I might be missing a lot, but as I see the most oppressed are still the most killed by guns be them on the hands of citizen or policmen


  • Another factor to be considered is the proper knowledge of the gun owner about gun handling, like Switzerland has, if I’m not mistaken nearly 100% of the population owning guns on the account of their obligatory military service for 2 years for men and 1 year for women and at the end of it they take and rifle with them, so the proper training with the gun is likely a factor. That being said in the US I don’t see any short term solution other than stricter gun control,for there is a weird gun culture there that makes people fetishise their guns so much that they wanna create an opportunity to use them
