[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Politicians and cops have guns, or other people with guns, to shoot back. Schools do not. It's a class thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) Therefore the average NRA opinion: If everybody has a gun... Edit: I'm from Europe and a supporter of strict gun laws. I just saw an analogy in NRA and the Syndrom quote. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago That is the case. But it does not make it any less true. Those with weapons are harder to assassinate than those of us without weapons. Again, it's a class thing and you and I are not a part of that class. permalink fedilink source parent [–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago That's such a weird "sinister" line permalink fedilink source parent [–] intensely_human@lemm.ee -3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Super-ness and gun ownership aren’t the same thing, and don’t work the same way. When everyone is armed, everyone can kill. When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill. The former state of affairs is more fair, and hence less likely to lead to violence. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago When everyone is armed, everyone can kill. Like if all would be Supes. Therefore equality. When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill. A subset like Mr. Incredible against the masses of normal people. Total inequality. Regardless my stance on that topic (please see my edit on my first comment for that) I see an analogy between NRA blabla and the Syndrom quote. permalink fedilink source parent
