@AvirahDeArah @mentsch1 You both miss my point. It’s not about the calibers, it’s about the need. There is absolutely no need for the USA to have five times more guns per-capita than any other major country. And the fact that there are so many guns, means that they are readily accessible to anyone wanted to commit a criminal act. So there is far more violence (yes, even excluding suicides) and violent deaths than any other civilized country! What we need to do is get rid of the guns. I don’t care what that would take.
And if you’re willing to go to war over that (which, let’s be honest, is the dumbest reason to go to war since “I like that mountain over there”), then I guess we’ll just have to see how a stockpile of Mossbergs, AR-15s, Glocks, and M2s in the hands of a bunch of disorganized survivalists will hold out against a single drone strike.
Oh, and @mentsch1? We need guns because of Moshiach? That’s a really bad take. Like, exceedingly bad. I’m just going to ignore it because I have more respect for you than that.
