The mass shooting in Canada highlights perfectly why gun control is a failure, and ultimately why gov't cannot be responsible for protecting people (if it had any interest in that in the first place).

Even if the police wanted to put themselves in harms way to protect people (some do, yes) but they have to be there at the exact second its happening and they rarely are.

Gun control is for serfs, full stop.

*Appears to be completely unaware of main load baring pillars of civilization, that are specialization and trust, how fragile they are, and that one must sometimes sacrifice their individual agenda(rights) to prevent collapse, and that law must constantly evolve to outline/document how and why one must to it in the given climate, and not be a perfect bible once and for all*

@namark Most of this post seems to be empty and baseless assumptions, with a sprinkling of strawmanning. Its primary purpose seems just to be to pick a fight and not actually have a discussion or even a reasoned airing of disagreement.

Nah, pass.

@shebang hmmm... my assumptions are based on the video (I did not investigate the person any further) and the purpose of the comments is to point out logical fallacies. Too assertive? Too verbose? You can address just one paragraph if you will, they are not strictly interconnected or ordered.

Or is it that I did not express a stance on the presented dichotomy and that is all that matters?
