I never got why people take this silly marriage thing so seriously. The government had no right to ban it in the first place. Here's hoping your country realizes firearms need to be legal next! Good luck!

Why on earth would be want guns?
-
Who's Be? Well, she may want them to defend herself, especially if she is elderly and can't fight off a home intruder.
-
If she is elder she wont be able to shoot a gun. Besides, elderly people here have buttons they can press instantly to call help and of course if the intruder was determined enough it wouldn't make a difference other than +1 to the body count
-
I know plenty of old women that are better shots than a lot of normal range-goers, and there have been many cases here where firearms have saved their lives from home intruders or burglars robbing their store. Calling for help isn't going to help resurrect your corpse, which is PRECISELY why you need to efficiently defend yourself.

If there's one thing I agree with you on, it's the gun control issue.
-
Because it isn't fun to be treated as second class citizens in the eyes of the law.
-
They treat everyone that way. The creators of laws are the source of the problem.
-
I believe we've had this discussion before... We're more than happy not having tonnes of guns but, you know, you keep doing what you do.
-
I'm not sure why you don't wish to protect yourself and control the massive violence, but I'm sure some people in your country have principle.
-
I can protect myself, easily, I just don't require a gun to do so.
-
A firearm makes protecting yourself more efficient and able to deal with an attacker at range. Not to mention, how do you defend against a tyrannical government?
-
If a tyrannical government wanted control a rag-tag band of civvies with AR-15s isn't going to stop them, the age of plucky rebellions is long since over. And as for attackers at range... Well, they've got nothing to attack me with.
-
You'd be surprised what a militia can accomplish. Check out the American revolution sometime. I think you'd find a tyrannical government has exhausted many of their options.
-
...Except that was over two hundred years ago in a non-globalised world when governments didn't have access to air support, heavy armour, superior training and ballistic missiles.
-
They also weren't fighting their own citizens at that point. Are people in the military so dumbed down they would blindly follow orders from a collapsing entity to kill their own family and friends? Principle doesn't change with technology. Strategy prevails.

Strategy prevails.[/quote] Exactly most military members would not kill civilians because the government told them to. I expect most of them to fight along side the civilians in a revolution (at least in the U.S)
-
In the American revolution the militia was fighting people in bright red uniforms, with no knowledge of the land, and who marched in all straight lines. America's advantage was that they basically had the opposite of everything Britain had. None of these things still apply today.
-
They apply more than you know. Look at what the Ukraine did.
-
That would be the real decider though, whether the military stood by the government or against them, any armed militia wouldn't matter in the slightest.
-
It makes all the difference, and is the only deterrent to an invasion. Look at our Middle-East conflicts and Vietnam.
