The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL ACCESS) KGB Political Debate Central Guns is gud

According to what you've posted citizens in your country have had to have a "good reason" and be cleared by the police, to own a gun since at least 1997. If removing the guns were a viable solution then why do you still have so much gun violence 14 years later?

The solution is simple Mithus and it boils down to personal responsibility. If you aren't self aware enough to recognize a toxic relationship before it kills you, then you've failed to be responsible for yourself. If you can't have an argument without resorting to violence to make your point then your lack of self control shows a considerable lack of personal responsibility.

The problem with being a free people is that it comes with a certain amount of responsibility. If you want the government to protect you from every eventuality then you must be prepared to give up your freedom. Those of us who advocate for less gun regulation or at least no more than we have are not willing to give up that freedom and we believe that people must learn to live responsibly. People unwilling to take responsibility for their actions will always make life more difficult for the rest of us, but that is part of the price we must pay to retain our freedom. Removing freedom from the entire population is never, in my opinion, an equitable solution to solving the problems of a few irresponsible citizens.
