humans are deadly predators at the top of the food chain in the circle of life, and through culture we have tamed ourselves so that we are fun and safe to be around during times of peace. Guns are just spicy equalizers, and usually with big tech jump, theres a new weapon that becomes a new feature that we should assume all humans are capable have that allows us to passively respect peoples power levels.
pretty sure parents who are clueless and afraid lived in a socially engineered part of society that made them afraid of guns and blinded them to their own power levels, potential and responsibility. Saftey and self protection is an individuals responsibility and any agency trying to take on that roll and disarm a population will not result in a safer society.
if everyone was armed and trained like they used to do to kids in school, and we had assistance from the police then we could live in a safe society, but relying entirely on the police or outside taskforce to protect us essentially makes us harmless, and harmless people become victims.
It works in a high trust society, those are being rapidly destroyed forever in a large sense by intentional migration of low trust populations. Solutions are a hard pill, usually a big fence and starting over with only high trust individuals with a sense of morality and the ability to work towards a better future independently and as a society. There exists a few, they are all working well.the new one in South Africa (Orania) comes to mind.
Short of that, force equilizers like guns are a bandaid. Actually prosecuting of criminals is a short term, long term is restoring the family structure and morality. Difficult with those of the genetic disposition that can’t have proper long term planning though, poor impulse control and the iq of a frog. Still, it use to be better, the total lack of respect for authority we are seeing ( like the blatant robbing of stores 1000x a day) says it’s getting worse. Then they complain when all their favorite stores close near them… normal people understand long term consequences.
Those in power who exploit all this to their political advantage on a long term plan to damage the only race that may counter them, the ones with an empathy gene that they exploit, make all this occur on a much faster Timeline.
The problem has many facets. All need addressed, arming teachers is like step one out of 109.
i say, lets brush a comb through the USA, grab everyone up under a certain IQ and dump them in africa or what have you, then restore a society thats worthy of high trust, then only let people migrate here if they pass a rigorous test and threaten to remove their citizenship if they violate our laws and customs.
also, just kill any and all pedophiles.
Not terrible. Unfortunately many have (young onesie urban areas) have adopted their ways as Hollywood as pushed it as a desirable lifestyle.
Interestingly, I find many parts of Africa to have much better people then the us, I would not wish it upon them.
Perhaps walled reservations as purgatory as well. Live in a big liberal socialist city, enjoy the fruits of your labors. Can’t leave. Bwteen both answers, the country could rebuild.
Also, no more double citizenship politicians. No more money from anywhere either. Strict limits, strict liability, stiff corruption penalties, must return to your previous line of work for 10 years after service.
