So, I'm not going to directly deny any of this because I think it is technically true. BUT, and this is a big caveat in the reading of any of this res...

This is all based on the idea that we even have a democracy in the first place. We used to have a representative democracy and now we have representat...

Yeah. It's strange. People just have those built in biases or contradictions. What can you do? : / (shrugs)

Good question. I was mainly hoping to avoid that type of world but if it were like that I would feel it would be best to have those guns against that ...

That’s good to hear! : D My apologizes on the later response. I’ve been a bit busy the last few days. I’ve been fairing ok, albeit feeling a bit cold ...

Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it and don't mind it's length at all. : ) With that said. I liked the examples you gave of the govern...

I just see it as the reality. I would love a world where logic, debate, laws, democratic voting system dominates but we haven't evolved that much. The...

It should be a part of everyone's inner monologue when it comes to trusting a government this big with every facet of our lives. I really enjoy your c...

I agree but you are really underestimating their ability to manipulate the narrative, and the law to control their voters. Gerrymandering, excessive l...

I would assume by using force? What other way is there? Currently a quarter of Americans own guns, approximately 81 million people. The American milit...

Fair points. So would it be a fund where we add guns to it in support of protecting ourselves from the government? I just don't know how it would be o...

Really? You are going to compare widespread gun ownership to GROUP ownership of nuclear warheads? Can you not see that they are worlds apart in scale ...

That would be nice but the threat in the militia comes from the anonymity and presence in the population. If it exists as a public "resource" the gove...

I mentioned it would be a group threat just as a militia is and not something that is under private ownership, so that would be a non issue.

Thank you for your research and numbers! : ) That is roughly what I have. I don't know how you could estimate the amount of people saved. I'm sure the...

Huh. Well, first of all that would be very unrealistic. haha But if it were possible I would be definitely be for it. It would be the ultimate threat ...

@"Samuel Lacrampe" All of those can mean different things to different people. It may be a picture of someone that you love that you value over a huma...

@"Mr Bee" What do you mean by "type of government"? It is either a democracy or dictatorship in this case. You mentioned the party changing but that i...

No it's not. We haven't had drastic changes in our livelihood over short periods of time. If it were a totalitarian regime it could fluctuate based on...

I found that funny but interesting. Why exactly would a population of people vote away their power? Democracy's weakness and strength is the stability...

Why are they probabilistic and random? The statistical definition of random is that they are equally probable. In my opinion there is no such thing as...

Presumably I guess humanity will just have to hold its collective breath and hope the leaders have some sense to avoid nuclear war. I just do not unde...
