People who don't want you to have tools of any given kind have a reason for that. Their reason might be mistrust, ill intent, paternalism, or something along those lines. But whatever their reason is, they are arrogating a right to interference which is not theirs. Even if such an interfering busybody is solicitous, considering them well-meaning seems rather incoherent. If they meant well, they would mind their own business.It seems that popular opinion from Europe (at least) views the US as needing gun control if not prohibition.
I would like to understand the perspective and arguments of my American friends on the PB with relation to guns, gun control and gun prohibition.
I get the ability to protect oneself and loved ones is crucial but I’m fairly ignorant apart from that.
*EDIT*
It might be helpful for me to clarify my position and intent of the thread -
I consider myself insufficently well informed on the subject. I don’t have a hidden agenda from what I have said.
