I can't relate to naive sensibilities. You're on your own with this one, bud. Ironic how a warrior bar none is unnerved over that statement. At the very least, it shows that you would not be a serious candidate for gun ownership as a responsible civilian.
I don't know you, but you can act judge and jury passing a verdict on my-person, very condescendingly as well. as rest of your post has enough snide in it. What if I am a responsible individual and pass the criteria? You are not an authority making the decision.
Strawman. You have no way of ensuring that a citizen is responsible or that a responsible citizen will always do the responsible thing. Thousands upon thousands of examples out there from gun culture societies such as the US and Pakistan. Look at yourself, you can't handle an online argument with a modicum of dignity or maturity.
Strawman again.......No one asked you not to resist. Your argument to make gun ownership widespread which will undoubtedly lead to hundreds if not thousands of deaths in peace time without any conflict is what I am arguing against. You can resist all you want without sacrificing the lives of innocents for a fantasized future possibility. Please read the posts carefully.
Have you asked every Canadian? What if majority of Canadians don't share your sentiments?
Your Strawman arguments revolve around you knowing what's inside the heart of every person! I don't make such a claim because I cannot!
- I want responsible armed citizens.
- people have the right to defend and resist. International law allows it!
My argument is around these points. You bring a cluster of socialist pseudo type arguments against it. Which originate from the US as it has gun violence.
- My point of view looks past it! Hence responsible armed citizens
- Not every Gun owner in US is a homicidal maniac.
since you bring up US based violence to counter me, At least in the US the 2nd amendment exists which is wonderful in my view. You can choose to practise it or not, its up to the individual.
If mainland US is invaded or the system implodes those who practise 2nd amendment will always fair better. Those who didn't, wish they had.
I can give him sympathies after confirming that he wasn't involved in the genocide of Bosnians as a civilian with his legal household weapon.
you should come down from your moral high horse, people suffered, and inhumane suffering was imposed on the people. You want confirmation that his hands are clean!
you are fighting uphill against people to have the right to resist but want confirmation that his hands are clean. Does the same condition apply to Canadian military personnel too? Or they are excused!
And what of the kids killed every year without a war just because a moron had easy access to a gun? What of their parents? Whatever guns the Yugoslavian or Iraqi refugees could have had would not have helped them any better than their toppled militaries.
Strawman again, How do you know, The people who have resisted through out history against aggression are hailed heroes. But in your world view they are morons. The world at large does not share your view! Again, International law allows the right to self determination.
Again, I can't relate to these naive sensibilities. To me, hypothetically speaking of course, a man sitting safely in his room fantasizing about war, without any understanding of it, willing to forfeit thousands of innocent lives just so that he can pretend to be a warrior online when he cant handle himself in a debate is not only a coward but a dunce as well. We both know he would run with his tail tucked deep between his legs way before he faces any danger.
In this paragraph you have taken the ball from the opposing goal keeper and scored a goal in your own net. Personal attacks on me isn't going to help your cause. As you engage me in disproving my views that people should not resist, and not have access to arms.
I stand by my views and you know what they are.
its okay to flee and save yourself, resistance is not for everyone.
But if an individual/people decides to resist, then that's their Right.
Yeah, totally....that is what it shows. If only the citizens were armed with tanks and aircraft.
Since I am fairly certain that you are being willfully obtuse, I'll leave you to it.
Its not wilfully obtuse, The world has eyes, ears and their capacity to process and form opinions and views. They will not form opinions that are same as yours or mine but they have that ability.
other than a minority of people, the plight of Gaza and remaining Palestine. The resistance has gained global support against the occupier! You can call the right to resist moronic all you want.
you may want the Gazan's to line up and let the israeli occupation expel or kill them as resistance is moronic.
But the Palestinians have the right to self determination. That right is not bound to them seeking your permission.
The guy willing to do whatever it takes to protect his kids and fellow citizens has my respect everyday. Not everyone gets it.
This counter to what you believe! As I said resistance is not for everyone.
