Yes but we also avoid problems that other countries with gun bans have, such as massacres of civilians by military and police.

It’s sort of a balancing act you see.

Oh you must be thinking of the time they shot a student 70 years ago. No, I’m referring to events rightly called “massacres”. Not a trigger happy riot officer killing someone. I’m talking lining 20 people at a time up next to a ditch and shooting them all in the backs of the heads.

Im talking about massacres. Killing events where 20 is a rounding error.

Now I get it. Your teachers may have failed to teach you about human history. But we live in the age of informaron. You can look this stuff up.

We haven’t had what Myanmar had recently.

Goalposts status: moved.

I did. It’s how I learned about this stuff. But you, in the meantime, apparently think that

trigger happy riot officer killing someone

Is totally different and not at all a symptom of overall system. Cool. Don’t forget to keep your hands on the wheel in a traffic stop, lest an acorn falls.
