Sorry if this is not the place for that kind of discussion. I would like to be civil, please. Some people on Reddit were talking about how only dictators would want to disarm people.
Can I have some explanation on your opinion and why? I believe weapons should be banned and that crime should not exist in the first place. My opinion may change, but I believe there should somehow be strict rules regarding crime to reduce the amount of it and just have a place where it will not be worried about.
The reason you cannot ban weapons is because anything could be a weapon. A rock, pencil, barb wire, glass, car, etc. Your ideals are not possible, it just sounds good. Banning weapons wouldn’t make crime vanish. Also the whole point of crime is that you break the rules to do it. Your strict rules would just be broken by certain people hence creating the “crime”. Guns and knives weren’t created to cause crime but they are efficient at harming people. They both have very practical uses outside of crime.
If you truly want to REDUCE crime, then focus on the mindset of people, change it for the better. For a positive mind won’t harm for no reason or just because of their feelings.
I know what you mean, but there’s always nuance, a limit, when it comes to things like this. Just because you can use anything as a weapon, doesn’t mean everyone should have access to everything. Rocket launchers? Bio weapons? Nukes?
Similarly, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. If there’s no need to ban things because criminals will do it anyway, why have laws at all? Murder, rape, assault etc.
Ultimately, societally, we attempt to come to a collective idea of what we think is “right”, and then attempt to enforce that.
Initially most are very straight forward, like “don’t kill people”… But then the deeper you drill into it, the more complicated it gets. What if you accidentally kill someone? You give them something they’re allergic to without knowing it? Should you get life in prison?
No of course not but this has nothing to do with weapons or really your banning crime ideals.
Also all the weapons you named are already banned for civilians and only major governments have atomic weapons. Which they shouldn’t have because they are the biggest criminals.
I’ll stick with my guns or knives for self defense and if someone tries to ban. It won’t go well for them
