Thread: The anti gun lobby

It is blatantly obvious the police want to disarm the population, they are only succeeding in small steps,every police force anywhere would love to be the only people with firearms...makes the job a whole lot easier.

What police and govt fail to see is disarming the law abiding has no net gain at all unless they fear a civil war,overthrow of police/govt.

Criminals dont obey the law so any law changes to restrict or ban means only the big blue gang and all the other gangs have firearms(the armed forces probably have a couple as well)

Everyone else is trying to disarm their civilian population because its easy to control a angry population armed with rocks,bits of timber,handfuls of their own shit etc when you have firearms.

Its been going on since the dawn of civilization, It is always the goal of those in power to disarm anyone and everyone who may oppose.

Oh I don't know.... that could be scaremongering.....

The thing is in a democracy, the govt does not have a mandate to disarm to people because it is supposed to represent the people interests...

The interests of the people are for accountable govt. Not that the public has any right to be threatening its leadership by being armed, but the reality is that any population that is disarmed means less accountable govt.

The police just want to make their job easier. A lot of the antis genuinely believe that less arms in the community will mean a safer community. You can understand the logic, but reality doesn't seem to work that way.... they ignore that.

A lot of the political thinking is just about political expediency. If it is popular to ban firearms, and who doesn't like to be told that they are being made safe, then govt will be incentivised to go down that road...

Its not always a conspiracy, often its just the mechanics and how it works.

But anybody who doesn't understand that the police do have an agenda, has their head somewhere dark.....

Democracy is nothing more than tyranny of the majority. Two foxes and a chicken voting on what's for dinner. The foxes don't need a gun, the chicken does.

Hahaha an American telling us about gun control hahahaha

Now this thread has really jumped the shark

If he did he probably knows a lot more about the subject than you do. But pretty sure he didn't say anything about gun control, he said quite a bit about said a lot about democracy though...
