Your assuming we all live in America where guns are legal. Good luck getting one in the UK.

Seems like that makes you extra fucked in the UK

Yes and no. We don't have school shootings so that's a plus. I guess not having guns is the cost of that, which is pretty fair. Some people are allowed guns, but you need a special license for it.

Edit: also we actually have stronger unions and more strike action even without guns. They don't actually help outside of a revolution. If anything we have less police violence because we don't have guns, so the most of police don't either. As a police officer you have to have special specific training to even handle a taser, nevermind a gun.

Sounds like a great role model to follow. Since you never mentioned what country you are fucking talking about we all will assume it's a random one. So let's just say, you're talking about Mongolia.

Actually I did. Read the rest of the comments in this chain. I am talking about the UK.

Nah; if you need guns to change things you have already lost and don't know it.

Shoutout to the allies for losing WWII.

The world has sadly changed.
