> First, not human right, American right.

it's one in my belive system (I didn't really mean it as in the by the un defined human rights, just as some people belive abortion is a human right) and I don't necesarily mean guns, I mean any weapon, so in ancient rome I'd be pro swoard rights for example

> Second, the second amendment is invalid.

have to agree with you there, however, I belive it to be a good thing

no, there are many countries with some gun rights actually (though they don't really have school shootings), like austria for example (you don't need a license for a lot of guns here and those you need the license for it's easy to get)

You can find all sorts of well reasoned arguments if you just do a basic web search. And I mean that honestly. There are plenty of intelligent people who can reasonably argue that the Second Amendment ought to continue to exist, and it ought to be interpreted in a way that allows people to have their own shotguns or rifles or handguns.

I think a lot of the arguments that are made on paper look okay at a glance, but whether they stand up to statistical analysis is a different question. For example, we know that when seconds count police are minutes or hours away, you just can't expect the police to keep you safe, so you might argue that you should have guns in your house to protect yourself from home invasion. And there's some truth to that. At the same time, the fact that you have guns in your house makes it more likely that your kids are going to accidentally shoot themselves or someone else, or that you're going to. So the problem you're trying to solve by owning a weapon creates another risk, which offsets the overall value. But then that gets into a question of priorities and how much control you think you have over guns in your own home. Or you might remark that perhaps the solution is to decrease poverty, so that there is less likelihood of anyone trying to break into your house, or you could suggest that we try to fix the broken police system in the country, so that cops actually have some incentive to respond quickly to home invasion calls, and the cops won't accidentally shoot you if they think you're the criminal when you're actually the resident.

And even if you can argue that people ought to be able to have weapons to protect themselves from home invasion, then there's a lot of disagreement about what kind of weapons ought to be permissible. Perhaps shotguns or rifles should be allowed but handguns shouldn't, because you can't easily hide a shotgun or a rifle. And then you get into strange statistical analyses of what kind of guns tend to be used in what kind of shootings, and which ones are relatively safe, and which ones criminals would switch to if they had no other option.

So I think all of that is complicated enough that people who really want to keep their guns can get lost in the statistics and logic, and I didn't even go into depth, but you can imagine how people who want to make the affair complicated would do so. And all of that happens so that they don't have to answer the question about why your children got shot and Australia no longer has that problem, because they fixed it the last time their children got shot.

for one I just belive that every human should be able to defend themselfs with weapons, if we didn't have guns I'd belive in the right to bear swoards or a bow

but now to why I belive this:

so you should know I'm an anarchist, so I reject every authority, that's why I think we should have guns, so we can stand up against authority if we need to or even if we lived in an anarchist utopia, we should have them in case a forgein nation would attack

then you also have to realize, that you can kill someone without a gun, but only if you're the stronger one. now who is stronger than the avarege woman? the avarege man! so the avarege man could rape and traumatize the avarege woman with no instant consequences so how can the avarege woman defend themself? with a gun

now I am a transgender individual in a country growing more fascist by the day, should I have to fear assault, rape and murder only because I'm different? no, I should have to be able to defend myself

I accept that your opinion may be different, and that's ok, there are good reasons to ban guns, this is just my stance on it

also, it basically boiles down to one thing: do you preffer freedom or safety? because freedom isn't safe and safety isn't free, I personally like freedom more, that's why I like my guns (and the fact, that gunsmithing is my favourite hobby)
