Mass shooting in the middle school Vladislav Ribnikar in Belgrade

[FlatAssembler]

If I am not mistaken, Croatia doesn't allow people with a history of mental illness (like me) to have firearms.

Immaterial. If you cared about crime, you’d find a way - legal or not - to get a gun. Since you have a history of mental illness, you are - by your own admission - at high risk for being the victim of a violent crime. 

As we all know, you can’t be anti-crime unless you’re heavily armed.

And what if prisons really exist? If I get a gun by hiding my mental illness or if I get on the black market, there will be a high risk of me ending up in one.

Are you in doubt as to whether or not prisons exist?

Are you in doubt as to whether or not prisons exist?

Well, yes. I tried checking that by visiting the prison in Osijek at the time for visitors, back in October 11, 2020, and there was nobody there.

So, I concluded that prisons probably don't exist.

Do you even have hair on your pubes?

Prisons really do exist (personal experience), but I doubt the risk of you going to one is all that high. You can always use a diminished capacity defense.

Yes, since I was 12.

Because there was nobody at a prison you concluded prisons don’t exist? That’s like going to a house, finding no one at home and concluding that houses don’t exist.

I am not saying breaking the law is always wrong, but I will not be breaking the law for no reason. Especially not committing such serious offences as possessing an illegal firearm. It's one thing to break the copyright law or to say illegal things, possessing an illegal firearm is something completely different.

I had two competing hypotheses: one is that prisons exist and the other is that prisons don'r exist. The observation that there was nobody at the prison in visitor time is more easily explained by the hypothesis that prisons don't exist.

But there IS a reason: you have said before that more guns make a society safer. Don't you think that, as a citizen of Croatia, it is your civic duty to help keep the country safe?
