    One of the candidates wants to imitate the US when it comes to the 2A, so I think if it comes to that, I’ll arm myself.

    Careful, you’re falling for American propaganda yourself.

    The safest thing you can do by far is to leave, but obviously that’s not an option for everybody.

    If you do arm yourself and you take that gun with you everywhere you go, you’re more likely to just give a far-right scumbag an excuse to kill you than you are to defend yourself.

    Extremely permissive gun laws benefit assholes, criminals and extremists far more than they benefit genuinely good people.

        So have all the armed minorities in America fixed the problem?

        Has racism been solved or does the state still execute people in the street and claim “He might have had a gun”?

        Are authoritarians scared to enter politics because of all the overweight, heavily armed people waddling around sharing fantasies about killing for “freedom”?

        Are domestic terrorists hunting gay people gunned down in a hail of Good Guy Bullets before they can threaten, trumatise, maim and kill anybody?

        Or do cashiers and children and beaten wives just get shot in the face because their lives weren’t deem as important as profiting off people who can’t secure their guns or control their emorions.

        Morality has nothing to do with it, it simply doesn’t work.
