Antigun person here , guns for civilians have no positive effect , owning a gun doesn ' t make you safe it makes you more likely to die . In my country Finland guns are not allowed unless you have a hunting card or are in the military . This has nothing to do with taking away people ' s liberty by the government duty to protect it ' s people , not give them a nuke and tell them to do whatever they want with it . I support capitalism to a certain extent , but communism has it ' s positives . The US just went full capitalist and no communism , basically making the really bad system they have today . Sorry for the ranting , I am not American but I am very aware that the US has massive flaws . It has it ' s good sides but the full capitalist society is a problem .
