In 2020, cities drive countries. Cities subsidize rural areas, not vice versa.
Wrong. Lol. If that was true then stop taxing them.
This brings up a good point about the destructive nature of democracy. A failed concept.

The chances of your fanatical scenario are infinitesimal. Preceisely, there are only two reasons why such would ever have a motive:
1) the economic conditions in your country have become so desperate (think great depression) people have to resort to complete mob burglary of strangers
2) You're both wealthy and well-known or you crossed someone and haven't invested in personal security (your own fault).

The remedy exists of course. In a non-gun society, you should be able to fight and defend yourself in hand-to-hand combat and utilize less-lethal weapons.



A ban is nothing without confiscation. It would require a Star Trek transporter to make all guns vanish. Unfortunately, there are too many guns in circulation for this to ever be feasible.



Stricter gun laws yield lower incidents of gun homicides, domestic homicides, and domestic suicides. The data on this is comprehensive.



Interestingly, we agree.

The problem is that losers use guns as a substitute for actual self-defense training. I own a gun as well... but only because I won't be caught defending my house with knives when other idiots have guns.
Have you ever visited Singapore, Tokyo or Seoul?

You'd could walk anywhere at any godly hour without the worry at being mugged at gun point.

That would feel good right?

It even feels better knowing that your child is relatively safe from being gunned down in the safety of their own schools.

Maybe you guys should campaign, as a trial project by getting at least 1 city within the US to not only confiscate but ban gun ownership using extreme harsh penalties as an enforcement tool.

I'd wager that not only crime will drop drastically but death related violence too.

I'd also wager, prices of housing will increase dramatically in the coming years as more families migrate there seeking an increase in the quality of life for their children.

Why should rural areas get special tax treatment? Are they not citizens?



Name a better form a government.
Oh that’s easy. Lol. Surely you’ve that about this outside the contact of controlling everything. Right?

The city votes only for itself. It taxes only for itself. Counties and towns vote for themselves and tax only themselves.

This is older than democracy. Democracy is persuasion.

Did humans hunt before gunpowder?
In rural areas they do need guns buddy.

Hunting is acceptable with guns, some animals like marsupials are a real pest to crops and grow into large number if there is no crowd control.

Sorry but it does not work. Chicago is a prime example. The city is very strict on guns yet inundated with guns brought in from Wisconsin and Indiana. Gun confiscation will only work if done nationwide.

As said, that would require a Star Trek transporter. It can't be done.

Rural areas self-governing wouldn't survive modern society. They barely have functioning infrastructure as is. And how would they protect themselves?

Well there’s downsides to those places. Lol
You didn’t mention those.

They can do whatever they want as an experiment. I would never try to stop that.

BUT, you can’t involve American politicians. They will ruin it and pollute it.

From what?

So it’s better to tax them, keep most of it for their projects and return little, then claim we can’t live without them?

Our country was built without cities. Lol

Wrong.

Humans were able to hunt and farm long before gunpowder.

Guns are a convenience, not a necessity. You're still accepting the pro-gun propaganda.

No. You think a centralized authority figure and government Voted by a majority that supports your mental proclivities should run it all. That’s what’s sad.

I’m a believer in states control over themselves. You want higher level control.

Disease, environmental disasters, cyber warfare, biological warfare, and conventional warfare. How you gonna protect yourself out there?



200+ years ago.
You think you’re smarter now? Lol

That is unscientific. Intelligence is the ability to pose and solve problems dealing with survival.

I'm not an American. I don't need nor ever heard of the pro gun propaganda.

I'm saying it as I've lived through it, for practical reasons, guns are needed.

Reality exists, the only fanatical ideas here are yours.

The scenario I talked about its not metaphorical, its based on real events that apparently you cant process because they are in conflict with your wishes.

That is a federal responsibility. That is it’s job. Not to tell people what to think. We gladly pay for that. Plus the bulk of us have served.
