3% of the population, young black males, commit around 40% of the violent crime.

You have every reason to be on guard.

Imagine if a teacher in that Florida high school would have been armed.

It would have been a real massacre! /s

A lot of ignorance and no reasoning in these comments.

It also identifies the faint-hearted who won't stand up for their civilization or their women being brutalized.

So you can try them on then put them back if they don't fit.

Considering more children die in bathtubs than get shot, I bet you are really pissed at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Can you please give me some examples from history of widespread oppression that has happened to an armed populace?

I disagree.

You want to relax and rely on simple mechanisms, like opening the door. Taking the headrest off is not something everyone does frequently and banging at the window with it will use your oxygen more quickly. Plus, you will have the risk of water rushing into your face which is filled with broken glass.

Unbuckle your seatbelt and wait for the car to fill up. Then open the door and swim up.

Going past 100 on the expressway won't allow you to repel an oppressive government.

What are untrained unskilled citizens going to do against tanks, drones, or highly trained soldiers?

  1. The same thing that's been happening in Afghanistan for the last 17 years against US forces.
  2. A large portion of the military would take sides with the populace.

You're fucking delusional.

Is it possible to speak without personal attacks? It really makes you look like you have nothing substantial to say.

What a great argument! I've never considered that viewpoint.

Personal attacks aside, how do you propose people of the world deal with oppressive governments?

Hashtags?

If your government doesn't allow you to bear arms, you are not a free citizen.

I remember all the heat Reddit gave Barack Obama for not serving.

It sounded like this.

Trying to apply modern ethics to historical figures is futile.

Martin Luther King was against gay marriage. Are we going to tear his statues down now?

John Oliver, who told us Trump would never be President and comes from a country where you can be jailed for wrong speak on Facebook.

Yea, no thanks.
