Just look at how useful guns were to average citizens in the USSR during its collapse. Wait: were guns useful in 1991 to non-gangsters?

- CaptWillard 2y agoI'm sure they were. You acknowledge the rise of organized crime in a power vacuum, but doubt the utility of self-defense in that environment?

- swiftcoder 2y agoIndividual self-defense against organized crime syndicates is not terribly effective. You shoot one guy, the capo shows up with 10 men to shoot you. A broad organized militia may be able to monopolize enough force to keep organized crime in check... and congratulations, you've just reinvented policing from first principles.
