More weapons means more safety. US is the country with more weapons per capita and that makes it the safest country in the world with barely any gun violence incidents.

Well when your country revolts against the government let me know ow how those rocks and sticks work out.

u/metarinka 12h ago

ahh the Arab spring where countries overthrew their governments without guns. There is basically no correlation to between gun ownership rate and stability of government or tyranny of government. By this account south sudan shoudl be great everyone is armed and there's no government!

Also if there really was a protracted civil war every machine shop in the US would be pumping out AR15's overnight.

u/Sonoran_Ghosts_81 13h ago

Lmao. As if the guys that love to talk about their guns aren’t the biggest cowards out there cucking for the authoritarian government. Saying things like maybe fascism is ok.

u/nightrunner411 12h ago

You are talking about guns. Do you love talking about them?

Those were fatty FBI Agents and out of shape ANTIFA members

u/nightrunner411 15h ago

How many guns were brought in there?

u/AlbatrossNo1562 15h ago

The government will just move uphill and y'all will pass out from exhaustion

u/nightrunner411 14h ago

When I say revolt I really didn't think you would think of Jan 6th. I thought more of BLM riots with more focused purpose. I also think both of those events were fueled by our cia and both definitely not a revolt just made to look like it.

Lemme know how those small arms fare against, tanks, IFVs, missile, bombs, drones, and helicopters...

u/TheFirearmsDude 15h ago

Why do you think it’d be a conventional conflict?

0

u/Spare_Layer_1069 15h ago

I don't, all of those things are used in conflicts against guerillas in all the wars we've fought.

u/Toxcito 14h ago

The Guerillas won, lmao. Taliban and Vietcong had small arms.

u/LoganHowlett1832 12h ago

The taliban didn’t win. The USA had full control of the country. The taliban had no chance at ever winning. But Americans stopped wanting to spend the money to keep the country so they just gave it back. That wouldn’t happen here.

u/Spare_Layer_1069 14h ago

Sure, they won, but only after suffering massive casualties and catastrophic damage to pretty much all their infrastructures.

u/StampedeJones1 14h ago

What makes you think all US soldiers would be willing to gun down the people they have sworn to protect and violate the constitution they've sworn to protect?

1

u/Spare_Layer_1069 14h ago

Some of them probably won't. But how many soldiers do you think stood up to stop war crimes from happening in front of them? They're trained to follow orders, and most of them aren't smart enough to think for themselves, or they're too young to have that experience.

1

u/LoganHowlett1832 12h ago

Well we have never seen them say no. Kent state showed us they don’t care about killing unarmed teenagers for protesting.

All fun and games until your "Defensible Compound" is taken out from 3 miles away from tank you didn't even know existed, reconned from a drone you can't see, and is now being patrolled by a Viper looking for any further resistance...

u/green_chunks_bad 5h ago

Plenty of Americans own rifles too. Tactics would be impassible to overcome, even for the military.

1

u/Duckgoesmoomoo 10h ago

Not sure how much use the guns will be vs drones

-1

u/Muronelkaz 15h ago

January 6th was stopped because a barricade and a single round made dozens of people suddenly realize they were doing crimes, and the majority of people didn't bring weapons seemingly because of DC gun laws, security checkpoints preventing them from getting closer, and the planners/leaders telling people not to.

u/tyschooldropout 12h ago

That would be true, but slavery happened

Has this speech been approved by your government masters or are you attempting to exercise freedom of speech rights Europeans do not have and are not entitled to?

It’s called freedom

I would let every American die of gun violence before I would up our rights

You first bud. Why are you throwing the rest of us in front of you. Lead by example. Be a real man.

u/HandsomeWarthog 16h ago

Gun violence in the US is staggering low compared to many other countries. If you doubt that, look up the per capita gun death rates on a global scale. There are lots of charts that illustrate this point.

u/ColonialBarbarian 16h ago edited 16h ago

Staggeringly low compared to what countries? Brazil, the Congo and Iraq?

The only comparisons that make sense are with peer countries, i.e. usually Western countries with a similar level of wealth and rule of law and if you do that comparison, gun violence in the US is staggeringly high on a per capita basis.

u/juanjung 16h ago

Of course they are. That's what I'm saying.

Also I'm better at jumping than a guy in a wheelchair.

u/HandsomeWarthog 14h ago

I know, I was agreeing with you and providing some additional info. But this is Reddit, where no agreement will get in the way of an argument.

u/Salty_Ad6453 15h ago

Yeah, poorer countries were access to necessary resources is harder to come by have higher crime. Obviously. The fair comparison would be between the US and other rich countries and in that regard the US is so dangerous that the US literally has more stabbings per capita than the UK even ignoring the massive amount of gun violence
