Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.

Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.

    “I don’t know why any individual should ever have a right to have a revolver in his house […] people should not have handguns.”

    • Richard Nixon

    Ronald Reagan and the NRA advocated for gun control once the Black Panthers started arming black communities. See: Mulford Act

    Banning weapons is a problem if the government needs to be overthrown by its people. In places like the USA, this is increasingly obvious that traditional systems of government regulation are rapidly dissolving.
