Voting and protesting are resulting in oppression and physical assault.
Your argument, such as it is, is equivalent to saying people should not be allowed to defend themselves, because someone might get hurt. It rests on the hidden assumption that guns cause violence, which isn't supported by the evidence you offer; and flies in the face of the actual violence in HK.
- salawat 7y agoToo add on to your point, there is also another hidden assumption: That violence is never the answer. In civil society, we like to preach that, but as soon as the basic pillars of civility disappear, violence is unfortunately the only answer. Worrisome times indeed.
- simonh 7y agoNobody was killed in the recent violence. Are you seriously suggesting that the commuters would have been safer, and less likely to get killed, if both sides had been armed with guns?
