minus-squarebluewing@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·1年前Politicians and cops have guns, or other people with guns, to shoot back. Schools do not. It’s a class thing.
minus-squarehakunawazo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21年前Therefore the average NRA opinion: If everybody has a gun… Edit: I’m from Europe and a supporter of strict gun laws. I just saw an analogy in NRA and the Syndrom quote.
minus-squarebluewing@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1年前That is the case. But it does not make it any less true. Those with weapons are harder to assassinate than those of us without weapons. Again, it’s a class thing and you and I are not a part of that class.

minus-squareintensely_human@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·1年前Super-ness and gun ownership aren’t the same thing, and don’t work the same way. When everyone is armed, everyone can kill. When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill. The former state of affairs is more fair, and hence less likely to lead to violence.
minus-squarehakunawazo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1年前 When everyone is armed, everyone can kill. Like if all would be Supes. Therefore equality. When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill. A subset like Mr. Incredible against the masses of normal people. Total inequality. Regardless my stance on that topic (please see my edit on my first comment for that) I see an analogy between NRA blabla and the Syndrom quote.
