I'm never going to support any solution that grows the govt or strips law abiding citizens of their rights.
When the black community gets tired of the bullshit, it'll stop.
don't see how society disarming should necessarily "grow the govt"
as for stripping people of their rights. I disagree, people would have more freedom in general without all the guns. i can pretty much go anywhere in the uk without thinking i need to arm myself. OK couple areas would need to keep your wits about you , but generally no need to be armed.
look at all the people in the US, in high gun crime areas that are afraid of catching a stray bullet or getting caught up in some gun incident. all the people that feel the need to arm themselves to go about their daily business or need to keep a gun at hand in their house to feel safe.
that's not freedom, that's living in fear. you americans seem to be a very fearful bunch in general. even when you look at foreign policy, always gotta be bombing this country or stirring up trouble in that country, all in the name of "freedom" and "keeping america safe".
i think this fearfulness is probably ingrained in the american subconscious. the settlers were always scared about the slaves revolting and rising up against them, so they had to make sure they kept themselves armed to the teeth to prevent any such eventualities.
just a theory but there's definitely something 'up' with the american psyche.
