  1. There has been a ban on automatic weapons since 1986. They are basically never used in crimes.

  2. Socialism is driven by arrogance and envy.

  3.  @Bob-sx7iv  I'm sure it's just a coincidence that tyrannical regimes disarm their political opponents at the very least, the population in general quite often.

  4. How do you intend to do that?

  5.  @elzbelz   Yet here you are, commenting on a video not about your country.

  6.  @elzbelz  I just find it amusing, this bizarre obsession people seem to have with the US.
    2
  7.  @elzbelz  Why though? Why are you watching videos about the US? Why do you feel the need to comment on them when it's "not rlly" your problem?

  8. Quick question: what would you do if someone broke into your home right at this very moment intending to do you harm?

  9. Iceland also has a population of 357 thousand people with a density of 3.5 people per square kilometer. There are more people in individual US cities.

  10. A short barrel rifle is better for home defense than a pistol imo.

  11. The problem is that you can never be 100% certain that a person is guilty. Someone who is wrongfully imprisoned can be released. Someone who is wrongfully executed cannot be brought back to life.
    2
  12. You're suffering from blatant in-group bias.
    2
  13. 1. Shotguns are used for hunting. It's called "buckshot" and "birdshot" for a reason. 2. Of course you bring a gun to a knife fight. Why would you not? We aren't talking a duel where you are supposed to fight on equal terms, we are talking about defending yourself against a violent criminal. I want things to be as unfair as possible in my advantage.

  14. They're analogous. People will work on their guns like they do with cars and talk about different models and such.
    2
  15. Yeah, imagine being attached to an idea like freedom. How weird, right?
    2
  16.  @falloncousins653  If you value safety over liberty, then you are authoritarian. Owning a gun doesn't make you free, but having the liberty to own a gun should you so choose makes you more free. There's nothing wrong with owning a gun, and the idea that you are going to decide for other people what the "wrong" thing is again reveals your authoritarian mindset.
    2
  17. Authoritarianism isn't the answer.
    2
  18. Because you are restricting the liberty of innocent people.
    2
  19. Military assault weapons have been effectively banned for civilians since 1986.
    2
  20.  @extremeresponsibility  Well there is the inherent threat that the military represents, but more fundamentally I fail to see on what basis the government has any special authority to give weaponry to the military beyond what civilians can have.
    2
  21.  @erinanderson3580  Authoritarianism is always "for your safety." That's the cry of tyrants: give up your liberty and they'll take care of you, control your life so you don't have to worry about anything. You have to say no to that sort of thinking. It's not about whether or not you own a gun, it's about whether or not you get to make the choice about whether or not you own a gun. Who decides how you live your life? You or the state? Unjust laws are supposed to be disobeyed. Governments don't have the authority to violate human rights.

  22.  @ratofvengence  "We had the balls to take covid seriously, and as a result we have less than a FIFTIETH the US covid death rate." Your government had "the balls" to severely restrict civil liberties and most Australians revealed that they were sheep by going along with it. Pathetic. "We still lead the US in EVERY freedom index" I know that you're incapable of making new arguments and can only mindlessly spout on about freedom indices as though they are authoritative, but that's going to help you even less now. The most recent human freedom index published was in 2020 using data from 2018, before Australia went insane. If indices still claim that Australians had more freedom for 2020 - 2021 data, then there is something deeply wrong with the methodology because there is no way that people who couldn't even leave their own homes to visit their families were more free than I was. "No we didn't. We temporarily took on restrictions for the benefit of all." That's what "giving up liberty" means you authoritarian goofball. "No, arrests for inciting people to break the law. you have this in the US too." Where having it be against the law to protest is authoritarian. Incitement to commit acts which cannot justly be considered crimes is also not justly a crime. There again, we are talking about freedom of speech here, something which Australia doesn't understand. "Oh no! Questions! The tyranny!" Police showing up at people's doors and going around in public confronting people to intimidate them and create a chilling effect is a sign of tyranny, yes. "It's not." It is. "The vast majority are conditioned enough to see why it was necessary" Ftfy "We have our normal freedoms back" That you think your "freedoms" are things that are given and taken by the government when "necessary" is your problem. "And we STILL lead the US in EVERY freedom index" We'll see about that.

  23. There is licensing to carry a gun.
    2
  24. Guns are the most effective weapons to defend yourself with. There's a reason security forces use them.
    2
  25.  @arm.n_8419  The irony here is that you seem to be on the side of the southern racists who pushed for gun control in the first place in order to keep freed slaves from being able to defend themselves against hate groups like the KKK. Black movements have worked hard to protect their gun rights.
    2
  26. Because criminals and tyrants exist in this world.
    2
  27.  @BYCloe-u  Depends on what you mean by a private company. There are worker coops out there, people who are self-employed, and if you wanted to you could move to a commune.
    2
  28. It's a legal move to escape New York and reincorporate in Texas.
    2
  29. Not when the one you are causing injury to is a violent criminal.
    2
  30. Anti-gun groups purposefully try to keep it that way. It's easier to push for restrictions when people don't understand the restrictions that already exist.
    2
  31. So you recommend pacifism? Victims of crimes should just take it?
    2
  32. Rifles are generally more effective than handguns, yet most gun owners don't walk around with rifles either. Lifestyle and comfort are considerations when deciding what sort of precautions you take. That's not hypocrisy.
    2
  33. Or the UK which now has an epidemic of assault, rape, and burglary.
    2
  34.  @Charles-fc9gi  They instituted strict gun control laws (and laws against even non-lethal tools like pepper spray). Now people are helpless and get victimized at a high rate.
    2
  35. The right to keep and bear arms is exactly that: a right. It is not a privilege, and making it one allows for government abuse of power.
    2
  36. Not feeling the need to be able to defend yourself just shows the naivete that is prevalent in many people. The fact of the matter is that violent criminals exist in every country. Every single one of them. The idea that you couldn't be attacked is just an illusion.

  37.  IssyFishyy  I would agree that democracy isn't a good thing, but it's less evil than theocracy or monarchy. Liberalism keeps democracy limited for a good reason, but democracy of some form is the least bad option as long as we determine that government is needed to secure rights.
    2
  38.  IssyFishyy  There are a lot of problems there. Christians disagree with each other all the time, so I'm so sure about the rules being understandable, and where they are understandable they often violate rights. Plus there's the whole question of a god existing, and what right it would have to rule us even if it did.
    2
  39.  IssyFishyy  No.
    2
  40.  IssyFishyy  Well if you're talking about the US, roughly 35% of the population does not identify as any sort of Christian at all.
    2
  41. Tell that to all the people who have used guns to defend themselves and others.
    2
  42. Every country has to pay for healthcare. Doctors don't work for free.
    2
  43.  @frankc4364  They're called taxes.
    2
  44. If you don't want to own guns that's entirely your preogative, no one will force you to. By the same token, if I want to own guns then that's my preogative.
    2
  45. Because you can defend yourself with guns.
    2
  46. How do you intend to provide a social safety net without taking away private property from people? Capitalism isn't opposed to regulating bad practices, in fact you have to have some sort of system in place to regulate bad practices in order to have a free market. Contracts need to be enforced and the use of force and fraud need to be prohibited. The issue comes when you start saying that people's voluntary interactions are "bad practices" and set about prohibiting those.
    2
  47. Or knife owners or blunt instrument owners or anyone with hands and feet.
    2
  48. This isn't "pro gun vs anti gun"
    2
  49. Gun registries lead to confiscation. No thanks.
    2
  50. Anti-choice people similarly fail to see human beings as individuals with moral worth, taking away the rights of women and reducing them to mere incubators rather than human beings with bodily autonomy.
