Well that's definitely a stream of apophasis that doesn't address my question, but maybe we can save it if you describe where you draw the line between anti-gun and "anti-private individual." IME they are always conflated within the discourse.
If you're implying a hypocrisy in supporting police having guns but people not, I don't agree, but even without that I'm fine if all guns go away. Does that now make my question answerable for you?
- zepto 7y agoI’m indeed implying the hypocrisy. I’m also fine with all guns going away. However nobody who is anti-gun is suggesting that in reality. I guess it all depends on how much you trust your government and police. Anti-gun sentiment seem to be about forcing the views of those who have reason to trust them, onto those who don’t, at gunpoint no less. That seems wrong to me.
