    Agree, but of my observation in Europe at least, much more organizing is needed before guns.

    Otherwise you just have more vigilantism.

      It’s much easier to get the guns before you’re that organized, and the neat part is they don’t disappear when you are.

      They’re not going to hand out gun licences to convicted criminals (read: people who attended a peaceful demonstration for a cause they don’t like), so why not support allies that want to get one if they’re interested?

        Good point, but I don’t think it outweighs the negatives of arming the general public indiscriminately.

        Must gun death in the US are self inflicted. Additionally there are cases of school shootings that are due to not well kept guns at home. People on the left are also not immune to crimes of passion or road rage accidents etc.
