Gun control on any level is good, which is why I voted yes. However, it would work best on an international scale if it were possible.
were you born yesterday or something?
I'm walking down the streets in the middle of night, a man points a gun at me and tells me to give him all the money in my wallet. Of course in my city I cannot have a gun. How does he have a gun? He's a f'ucking criminal that doesn't obey the law. So because gun control is such a great idea I'm out all my money.
You've got to understand that in Earl's ideal state, (picture North Korea) we will all be so poor that that none of us will have any money to steal.
What Earl didn't count on is that in totalitarian socities like North Korea, a criminal might simply choose to use the firearm to make you his next meal.
North Korea lacks many of the qualities of my ideal state. Democracy being the biggest one on a long list.
