The catch-all gun thread

[Chas]

That makes absolutely no sense. What is tyrannical about it? Please compare to health care in European countries.

You are treated badly by your elected officials and still those most screwed over think that you have a bulletproof system and a great country. As for health care, it's fucked up that it's treated like a business and not focusing on the part where healthy people contribute better to the society. But honestly, this is a huge topic, let's keep on track and focus on the guns.

The U.S. now has a somewhat reasonable healthcare law, so we can drop that.

Not everyone is physically capable of doing so. It is not realistic to expect those most in need of defense to be able to use that.

And not everyone is mentally capable of handling a gun.
Building a wobbly jenga tower on shitty principles does not deal with the underlying problems and instead of fixing anything it creates more conflict.

I never suggested everyone is capable of handling a gun. I am.

What I am not capable of doing is defending myself with my bare hands against a large assailant or multiple assailants. Are you?
