There's nothing wrong with what Oblow did. I'm amazed that he owned that many firearms.
I've never seen a cogent, mature argument in favour of owning guns.
Guns exist, it would be better if they didn't, but they do and always will. If only the government and police are allowed to have guns, that would be the fastest route to tyranny. Do you trust your government and police enough to be the only ones allowed to have guns? Why is this so hard for you to wrap your head around?
Japan.
Outlawed open carry swords in the late 1800s, and hunting rifles only with a permit. They are very rare, yet the government is not tyrannical.
Tyrrany does not happen just from asymmetrical firepower.
Democracy does not spring from arming the population.
Why is this so hard for you to wrap your head around?

Great and what percentage of Japan is not Japanese?
Aah yes, the ‘racialist’ argument. Sorry, this is about guns, not national make up.
Would you say Japan is a hot bed of diverse Cultures that don't share the same values at all let alone the same common language?
It’s getting there.
Is there a lot of gang violence in Japan? Crime? Home invasion? Drugs? Religious Radicals of any stripe?
We are talking about ‘needing guns to protect from tyrannical government’ which I’ve shown is bullshit.
You don’t want to respond to that, so you disingenuously change the topic to ‘we need guns because we don’t live in a racially pure society’, which is a totally different (yet equally idiotic) argument.
But just to educate you, yes, there is the fucking Yakuza, and tons of cults, like the Aum Shin Rikyo, that launched poison gas attacks.
And yes, Japan is not as racially diverse as it seems, just 100 years ago there were racially-charged riots after an earthquake, where the locals tried to murder the Korean community.
Have you ever been to Fucking Japan Man? How about Detroit? Or Atlanta? South Central? Chicago?
Do you see any God dam any similarities at all?
No, they are very different.
Not in small part because OF THE NUMBER OF FUCKING GUNS AND A CULTURE OF USING THEM
We have not been sitting around refining our homogeneous cultural identity for countless millennia
Neither have the Japanese. Except for a few hundred years there the country was closed, there was lots of trade and cultural exchange with neighboring countries
You are not comparing apples and oranges you are comparing apples and orangutans fuckwit!
What the actual fuck?
We are a fast and furious empire in rapid decline and this is what that shit looks like
when people can't even think a thought through anymore and rattle of this nonsense.
Let me finish that sentence for you
WE NEED MOAR GUNZZZ
We are talking about the relationship between civilian-held guns and democracy, which you say is essential, but the evidence shows otherwise.
And I did give you an example of an organized, armed group that didn’t stand a chance against government pressure.
Fuckwit indeed.
Now, you are coming close to making a point about cultural norms, but you are so far up your own ass with using only the most extreme examples of everything, I can’t trust you to make a reasoned argument.
