Gun control has to be one of the earthliest sentiments imaginable --putting trust in Big Brother's power to confiscate objects we deem too frightening for others to possess.
It's also bad policy that attacks our country-men and the freedoms that enable us to provide security for our families.
Gun ownership also devalorizes male virtue by rendering the male head of house impotent and dependent upon state power to protect himself and those he loves.
I have yet to see a coherent argument for gun-control --only platitudes and other meaningless form of regurgitation.
It also seems impossible to fathom that any virtuous male would be willing to surrender his arms when there are people that rely on him for safety.
Men that love, men that sacrifice their bodies for the sake of others, arm themselves.
”It also seems impossible to fathom..” you know guns are only a prominent feature in America? Europeans simply just dont care about guns.
America and Europe are apples and oranges. Entirely different situations in these places as I noted before.
I live in HK. Other than the recent insanity going on, there is otherwise almost no crime, and hence zero need to arm myself. But if I lived in America, where there is a lot of crime, I absolutely would arm myself.
Weapons make crime easier, but weapons do not make criminals. HK has no weapons and yet the streets are flooded these past few months with rioting criminals doing much violence, all without guns. Weapons did not make these people become criminal, it was far deeper reasons that brought forth the insanity. Europe does not have less crime because it has no guns, it has less crime for far deeper reasons. America has lots of crime for very deep reasons that have nothing to do with guns. And thus simple American families like the many good people here are very right to arm themselves as they must protect their families from criminals.
I know personally two women raped (truly raped, as in window-intruder type rape) and one man murdered. I know another man purposefully run over and killed just two houses down from mine. My friend even prevented a bank robbery by chasing the criminals with a bat. I once received a phone call informing me of a mental asylum patient escaped from the nearby hospital. And this is all just when I was a youth living in an upscale neighborhood of Tampa FL. And that is merely a list of things that have a very close connection to my personal life, not just local news reports.
My wife is mainland Chinese and her family visited California last year. On the very first full day there their car was broken into and bag stolen. Thankfully it was a "nice" criminal who tossed their passports onto a nearby lawn and that person somehow got it back to them. But the valuables were gone, car window shattered.
With that type of criminality in proximity of my personal life, how would I not want to protect myself? In lower scale neighborhoods I imagine the amount of crime is far greater, especially with the drug epidemic (which results in addicts killing people for $20). Crime is no joke and the police take 10+ minutes to come and it only takes 5 seconds for a criminal to ruin your family's life.
