As for facism I'm not sure how you can really combat it without taking away the rights of regular citizens. Countries can teach about the negative affects of it more I guess. |
Nah.
| jason1637 said: Yes. Dictatorships can still happen and if the government passes laws that take away rights it's up yo the people yo revolt with gun power. |
If you don't have a stable democracy, then of course Dictatorships can still happen. - That statement holds true whether citizens have guns or not... I mean Turkey is a good example, right?
| jason1637 said: If someone lives somewhere with lots of crime they need a gun to protect themselves. |
When citizens take the law into their own hands, innocent lives tend to be lost at higher rates due to accidents, false information (I.E. Accusing someone innocent), bad practices and general Mal-intent.
The legal system tends to exist for a reason.

Australia is almost as big as USA or Brazil but has a very small population, as well as density. So the gun violence rate would be quite terrible statistically if that were to happen. To put in perspective this 50 casualty massacre in NZ would be equivalent to 3000 casualty massacres in USA. |
I was speaking in hypothetical's to present an example.
