The last bit you wrote is exactly why I want the right, or at least one of the bigger reasons. I simply do not want jack boot thugs to come in my residence with the threat of violence and to then disarm me telling me what i can and cannot own.RoosterDance wrote: Wed May 20, 2026 12:21 pmThis is indeed my greatest point of contention. What benefit do gun rights bring? And I ask this seriously. And just like Human, did we can make direct comparisons to places with readily-available guns (pretty much just america) and places without.HumanBeing wrote: Mon May 18, 2026 6:52 pm Personally I haven't seen countries or people benefit from gun rights
The cons as I see it are thus: violent conflict is inevitable. With guns involved, it just makes people less likely to survive it. Also allowing guns means allowing gun-related accidents.
The pros are.... Well it can make certain people feel safer, even when in reality it doesn't make them many safer. I suppose one can argue there's a sort of artistic value in it too.
Well personally, I am all for minimizing government regulation on the whole, but one area in where it has been beneficial is with guns. To what degree is debatable.
