We should start by repealing the 2nd amendment. It is a bad law. Edit: This along with arm confiscation would limit force in police interactions and thus lower aggression.

How should people protect their houses/shops when armed criminals try to rob your place?

[WesternStar]

Call the police and have insurance.

[sumedh]

What should you do till the police don't come and who will help you out till you get the insurance payout which is not a guarantee.

[WesternStar]

Well I didn't say you couldn't fight. My proposal includes confiscation. Assume very aggressive pursuit of criminals with an unlicensed firearms. Like multi-county dragnet with blocked roads. Like we get O(100) cops for one gun. Most criminals will just probably keep it to cold arms.

[sumedh]

How exactly are you going to fight armed criminals with just your hands or a knife?

Confiscation from lawful gun owners, why, what crime did they commit?

[WesternStar]

People with guns lose fights too. Cold Arms are easier to assess and much easier to run from. Who said anything about a crime that's like asking in the current regime cocaine users what crime did they commit. I'm not suggesting arresting them. I want their weapons. They aren't using them to defend against tyranny so what good are they.

And what about when response rates are 40 minutes?

What about the gov being oppressive? HK would be diff.

[WesternStar]

The United States of America has an oppressive government if they wanted to use their weapons to protect against tyranny today would be that day. But they don't the 70 million gun owners of America march in support of tyranny not against it.
