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?
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?
Is there a lot of gang violence in Japan? Crime? Home invasion? Drugs? Religious Radicals of any stripe?
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?
We have not been sitting around refining our homogeneous cultural identity for countless millennia
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.
I live in Israel, really heterogeneous, really crazy, filled with violence and terror, and still, there is no way i would want people here to have guns. only people that should carry a gun are trained professional police and army people. and Democracy doesnt come from having guns, it comes from education
You live in a nation barely older than me built literally on top of another nation surrounded by dare I say maybe other than North Korea the absolute least democratic region on the planet you don't have guns but you have a wall (because those don't work and are racist right?) and suicide bombers everywhere and homemade missiles so again peeps who want to kill gonna kill gun or no. Horrible argument. But I feel for you man hang in there yeah who needs guns with improvised explosives? Fuck.
Israel is a shithole but still, guns to untrained civilians is dangerous. more suicides, more murders, more citizens taking matters to their own hands and doing more harm than good.
Even with the "stabbing intifada" or whatever the media named the stabbing spree we had a few years ago, if random people had guns we would have way more innocent people dying.
I have a jewish morrocan friend ( a big part of the population here) and when the country was in a frenzy about random stabbings in the streets someone walking alongside him in the street thought he was an arab terrorist coming to stab him, my friend is the most gentle dude ever and im sure if that guy had a gun my friend would have been in danger, just because he walked close to another dude in the street looking a bit darker than a regular jew.
The only people that can get a gun here are army, police and security forces and people living in sketchy areas like settlers, and even though alot of settlers have formal military training from their military service ive seen them abuse their guns and act like cowboys towards the palestinians around them. fuck settlers. fuck guns. guns are bad. alot of settlers are american jews that came here to "fill the holy land with jews" or whatever, bringing the american gun lust here, romanticizing "recapturing the land". ive seen settlers shoot toowards arab farmers direction because "they were heading towards our lands and they should be warned not to get close." i dont want people like that having guns even though they live in a sketchy area. we have an army and police for shit like that
Oh, and walls dont work. im smoking a hash joint from lebanon right now that probably went over that wall and skated/worked with palestinians that crossed the wall from the west bank and with sudanese people that passed the wall on the egyptian side.
I know people who died, i know people who killed with justification and people who killed because they felt like it and circumstances allowed them, and i really dont think untrained and unsupervised civilians should have guns. even with supervision and the right training stupid people sometimes want to take matters to their own hands and be the executioner. no 16 y/o should die because he threw some stones and gave an asshole a legal reason to "feel a threat' and shoot.
And believe me, the less guns you have around the less likely the police is going to have a heavy finger on the trigger. i have never seen a police officer pull his weapon out here. never. and im sure they are not smarter or calmer than the officers you have around you in the states shooting hundreds of people a year
