Thank you.. I have made these arguments for years but they seem to fall on deaf ears among young men. The culture in U.S.A teaches that might makes right and organization and unity are weak solutions but I have hope that those beliefs will not prevail much longer.

Guns do Not mean Equal Resistance. But taking guns away is STILL NOT THE ANSWER! To Many, a gun is the only way to put food on the table. So taking that away is still creating problems. I am not looking at this as a main stream view, I am bringing in an Indigenous view. Most reservations do NOT have access to stores, or have to travel more than 2 hrs away to the nearest grocery store. And anything local costs so much and are extremely bad for you. I have paid $7 for a loaf of cheap white bread many times. Go into grocery stores on a reservation and their vegetable section is abuse 6foot long and about 3foot wide. That's it. There is no 1 size fits all here in the US. Just because the rest of the world has an idea none of you think about the indigenous population.

I am not saying take guns away...

Plus, even some Chinese ethnic groups still use guns to hunt.

Most think they should all be taken away.

Nah, I’m a gun owners too, hunt and sports . But rules are different here in Canada

I forget you are in Canada. Yes the rules are way different. I do have some good ideas on how to make things safer. Like mandatory gun safety classes, training and so on.

Your so right Grumpy, Simply put a gun is a death warrant and definitely will get you killed especially in a police state, AmeriKILL!

Thomas Crooks borrowed a gun, took (inadequate) target practice, climbed onto an industrial roof and fired repeatedly at DJTbag at the Butler Farm Show grounds. He killed an innocent man, wounded two more, got himself shot to pieces, missed his target and assured his target's reelection. Except that Crooks intended to use his gun against power, his fate illustrates your point.

Clear insight, Neil. I know many gun owners (I am one), and for the most part they're just as you describe them. Having a gun for hunting or home self-defense is about the limit of their usefulness. For resisting tyranny, having organization, unity, cooperation, and coordination is more important than fire power.
