Lol common sense.... good luck with that in these discussions
Isn't it common sense that people will have the same tools to defend themselves?

I think it's obvious having more murder weapons around will lead to more murders. If every house in New York had a samurai sword then the murder rate would obviously increase because some people will surely get angry or crazy and remember they have a sword laying around. It's the same with guns. If more peope have guns then surely some people will get angry or crazy and remember they have a gun and will murder with it. This is just common sense. Obviously a lot of people like to be able to have guns for various reasons (including feeling safer) and that's understandable. But don't try to pretend more guns means less gun crime, that goes against common sense
Situation is the following: you walk with your wife and child on a boulevard and you see a truck coming that runs people over. Needless to say you are packing heat.
You......?

White areas in the US are EXTRMELY safe and comparable to a lot of Western nations. Demographics has exponentially more to do with homicides than availability of firearms.
While I agree with the first half of your post, I don't think the left's solutions are going to do anything but make it worse. Especially now with so much information available on the internet, making it easier to start and run a business would spread things out much better. Sweeping laws, taxes and regulations and their corollary costs price out startups and just leave corporations that can afford the hit while pricing out people who can't.I disagree, look at Latin America to see that strict gun laws do not on their own help. Its also instructive for another reason because it sheds light on a factor that does indeed seem strongly correlated with violence: wealth inequality. Even Jordan Peterson admits this and says you can make a conservative argument for limiting it on the basis that it has a destabilizing effect on society. But the GOP isn't making that argument, its mainly the Democrats and specifically the more progressive Democrats that care about wealth inequality. The left needs to double down on decreasing wealth inequality by also pointing out this crucial fact and just dropping the calls for gun control altogether.
There's no such thing as a final stage of biological evolution.
I would like to say yes but there are to many complete morons in this world. It simply doesn’t work
I don't know what you imagine you cleared up. The OP made a demonstrably false statement. I proved it wrong.
What doesn't work? That you should have the right to choose your means of self defense?
If that means your country becomes less safe for the average inhabitants I would have to say no.
And please don’t pretend that guns make shit more safe
Well yeah less intelligence was implied when saying inferior genes.True. I mean with humanity the final stage of evolution hasnt occurred yet like it has with all other species. What direction it goes in turns of genes and evolution can vary widely depending on the actions of races and a few. But 1 or 2 groups will reign supreme. Id argue we are still in the days of imperialism. And the leadees of nation are aware of this as are deep states and secret societies. In the non western world media (namely asia and europe) is more inclined to talk of this stuff. The face public level of what we see and hear is less than what the elites discuss. So while inferior can reign if it does it is superior but may not be the most intelligent or pretty outcome but it survives nonethless. Though frankly i dont see how it reigns supreme in the world unless helped by pathologial altruism. The coming war is inevitable. I think Trump and the migrant crisis and Iran and china will kick start it. Want to know more let me know. I suspect its planned. We essentially have just had mass building up. The collapse of the USSR solidfied the inevitable.
Its more about intelligence. Read my reply to
You quoted the wrong person for this. I was joking, but there are clearly people who feel the inferior genes of other races is the issue.Inferior genes? Are you Alt Right? Go back to Stormfront.
You watch to many movies John Wayne.I centerline that motherfucker. Climb up into the cab death check him, get his ID to find out who he is and where he lives, and kill everyone and anything he ever loved including his dog.

In your scenario you probably would get “centerlined” by somebody else before you can take a shot. People centerlining people left and right all trying to be heroes. Sound good right?
Let’s be clear the cat is already out of the bag for you guys, but ofc you are less likely to get shot when there are less guns around.Any evidence to suggest that they make a country less safe?
Do you live in America? Are you American? If not worry about your own problems sport.If that means your country becomes less safe for the average inhabitants I would have to say no.
And please don’t pretend that guns make shit more safe
Quality response
Reads like projection to me.
