  1.  @heyitshailey225  Thank goodness I'm not Australian, and plenty of your fellow countrymen don't seem to agree with your assessment.

  2.  @cfc.havertz3686  No, I'm not. Curfews, limits to how far you can travel, quarantine camps for international travelers, protestors arrested, even simply voicing support for protests has gotten people arrested, and more. It's dystopian.

  3.  @cfc.havertz3686  If you think those things are perfectly justified, then you're just a sheep that accepts authoritarianism and your opinion is irrelevant.

  4. Finland isn't the US. Our culture and situation is not the same as yours ever was.

  5. ​ @Bob-sx7iv  You're showing your buffoonery again. This isn't a matter of human biology. You're like the neocons who say we can just impose liberal democracy onto a theocratic society and expect it to work, then in reality it collapses in a matter of weeks after we stop propping it up.

  6. @Albert Whisker  False equivalence and also not true. Each individual makes their own decisions under capitalism: even the wealthiest of billionaires cannot force the poorest of the homeless to act against their will.

  7. The population has come together in the agreement that guns should not be banned. It's certainly true that there is a divide over gun control measures, but the notion of banning guns altogether is deeply unpopular.

  9.  @Maksie0  That's not what's happening though. Nothing is being "taken" in capitalism. The business owner is paying workers for their labor and those workers voluntarily agree to sell their labor. Both parties believe that they are benefiting from this exchange or else it wouldn't happen. It is instead socialists who seek to take and/or control the fruit of people's labor, dictating to people what they can and cannot do.

  10. I mean, yeah, it does. You have the liberty to buy a gun or not buy a gun as you so choose.

  11. Killing in self defense isn't murder.

  12.  @simr4nn  You are setting off a small, controlled explosion and testing your skill at hitting a target. Yes, it is fun.

  13. Owning a weapon for protection is normal. Some people learn martial arts to turn their body into a weapon, some people keep a baseball bat next to their bed, some people carry knives, and some people own firearms. Wanting to have the means to defend yourself is normal.

  14. It sounds like you are the one who is brainwashed. Guns are used for good frequently.
    4
  15. Murder is wrong. Killing can be morally justified.

  16. Automatic weapons have been banned since 1986 and are very rarely used in crimes.

  17. No, rather it is government which is a parasitism that divides people into antagonistic classes. People fundamentally are not equal and can never be equal. People come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes and have different aptitudes and coincidental circumstances. Attempting to force equality is harmful and counter-productive. In that people are equal, we are all equally human beings with the same human rights. There is nothing unjust about the unequal outcomes which result from people freely exercising their just rights. Rather than being the highest stage of development of society, communism is a reversion to a more primitive mode of existence reminiscent of our distant ancestors.

  19.  @mrmarx5395  ​ By which definition you go is a matter of opinion because words do not have objective meaning. Declaring that your usage is "right" and other usage is "wrong" is simply an opinion. Others might share that opinion with you, but it is still just an opinion. Where in your previous explanation did you address that socialism encompasses a wide range of different philosophies?

  20. You're free to your opinion, but as a Canadian you have no say in US law.

  21.  @harrisonkey698  Machine guns were banned decades ago, but I do think that law is wrong, yes.

  22. I suspect Americans have a more coherent position than you do.

  23. ...and now the police are arresting hundreds of people for protesting the continuing lockdowns.

  24.  @heyitshailey225  I'm saying that Australia has descended into authoritarianism and the citizenry is effectively helpless against it.

  25. "Do capitalists share?" Yes. Americans gave about $450 billion to charity in 2019. That's in addition to all the money "shared" through taxation.

  26.  @cfc.havertz3686  authoritarianism (n) the enforcement or advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.
    4
  27. Yeah, your government keeps you so very safe. It tells you when you leave your home, how far you can go, what you can do, and even what you can say. Better not disobey. It's for your own safety.

  28. If you are trying to start a civil war.

  29. Yes, the brainwashing of anti-gunners often goes deep. Imagine thinking a woman deciding to take her own self defense seriously is insanity.

  30.  @suicidecandy  Communism and fascism both argue for the subjugation of the individual to the collective and foster murderous intent towards the perceived enemy collective. Replace race with class and fascist writings will look appealing to a lot of communists.

  31. Sweden also has twice the rape per capita than the US. Fun stuff.

  32.  @Bob-sx7iv  You have no logic and reasoning, you just have emotional rants and make unjustified assertions. Finnish gun culture is based around hunting rather than self defense, they have a fraction of our population and lower population density, their demographics are different, their history is different, their climate is different, etc. There are all manner of factors differentiating the two countries to explain why dropping a policy from Finland onto the US won't have the same effect.

  33.  @Bob-sx7iv  I don't know who you are responding to, but apparently it isn't me because I said nothing about us being "supermen." We are different, that's all.

  34.  @Maksie0  We are a social species, but our ancient ancestors definitely competed with each other in groups and it was for mutual benefit, not the greater whole. Think about it, do most humans think of bettering the greater whole when looking for mates or are they trying to benefit themselves and pass on their own genes?

  35.  @julestm4877   It sounds like you are simply biased against firearm ownership, even when used defensively. To me, the simple fact that they can be used in such a way is more than sufficient to justify their ownership, as if one needs justification to own objects.

  36. 1. If I'm at home, my gun isn't in a safe. It's out and ready. 2. If you have children or others around where you can't have guns out and ready, they make quick access safes that can be opened in seconds.

  37. There are still shootings, including mass shootings, in Australia. We have this crazy idea in the US that citizens should be able to protect themselves.

  38. Government intervention. Look up things like redlining.

  39. Whatever you might think about the NRA leadership and spokespeople, regular NRA members aren't lobbyists.

  40. Sure, so they could learn what not to do.

  41.  @Princessbuttercupish  More like not forcibly confiscate legally owned property from law abiding citizens and reduce them to helpless sheep.

  42.  @fayzalathz  I'm fairly certain criminals exist in every country.
    3
  43.  @lukemacdermid2246  Because having government appointed "professionals" with the power to decide if you're a threat and lock you away even though you haven't committed any crime is dystopian.

  44. It's not being afraid, it's just not ignoring observable reality. The odds that I'll ever need to use my fire extinguisher or a bunch of the stuff in my first aid kit are quite low, but I have them because the possibility that I'll need them exists. The same goes for guns. As for deciding when and why you can take someone's life, your actions are ultimately your decision. No one else can decide for you. You can be held accountable for those actions afterwards, but you have to decide.

  45. It is always interesting how many Europeans and Australians find their way into videos like this.

  46.  @Bob-sx7iv  Wrong. Slaves and serfs were barred from keeping and bearing arms.

  47. Why shouldn't I have a gun for safety?

  48. Fun fact: social democracy is still capitalism. The Nordic countries are all capitalist.

  49. If you lose someone to a car accident, do you stop supporting people being able to own cars?

  50.  @blackbird163  People do need guns for their personal security. Having a job isn't going to help you if you get murdered or sexually assaulted.
