Your definition of "free society" is probably the problem here. In mine the tools of violence play a non-existing role; for exactly the same reason they don't get atomic bombs.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y ago> In mine the tools of violence play a non-existing role; Lol. When you have a problem, you’re going to call police, to bring a “tool of violence”. You’re just being naive about who is ‘allowed’ to have a means of defense. If police are the only ones that can defend themselves from people like you - you aren’t free, you are subservient. Aren’t the same people a threat to them, a threat to you? Classes of nobility don’t seem very free to me. But... you jumped to “nuclear gun”, so how much of a serious argument could I expect from you?
- mattigames 8y agoAd hominem much. Bla bla you believe what you want in a civilized country the only gun needed by the police may be a taser gun.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoYou’re right, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were literally a child, mattigames. >only gun needed by the police may be a taser gun :D please tell me more about your experience with police and police training! Then I’ll tell you mine where I’ve traveled around the country training and training with police. Can’t wait. EDIT: Nice job using a throwaway account to downvote my posts! Though you should know that’s against the TOS here.

- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoAbsolutely my bad. I got sucked into it somehow despite it being clear the topic was lost nearly right away.
