That's not true. In my country of Canada, our GDP ratio four lowest healthcare spending province is 41%. Think about that. 41% of the provincial budgets (minimum, and the quality is complete ass) goes to healthcare. They force doctors to accept whatever rate they want to pay them (indentured servitude). The US has more cancer treatment patents every year than the rest of the world combined. They have the highest survival rate of every country in the world for cancer.

People still kill other people, guns or no guns. A gun is just a simple answer to a simple problem. Restricting firearms just means people move on to the next easiest thing to acquire and kill people with.

Before you know it, we'll have to show ID to buy plastic knives and forks like certain other countries.

Statistics prove this to be true...... but....

The deaths by gun that really causes the drop is by suicide. It barely ever reduces homicide by gun rates.

Logically, that means that law abiding citizens tend to give up their guns but the criminal element retains possession of them. You choose to look at only half of the information and draw your conclusion. That is faulty. You need to look at all relevant information if you wish to have an informed opinion about something.

Here 's what conservatives believe:

Nothing is free, and that includes healthcare.
Freedom came, and still comes, at a cost such as the lives lost defending it.

It isn't entirely up to the others as much as it is up to ourselves to have freedom. That is why we Americans need guns.

>Freedom came, and still comes, at a cost such as the lives lost defending it

there were wars, started by other nations, that threatened the existence of the USA. there is currently no such war. are you suggesting that we must go to war in order to claim freedom? please explain.

>It isn't entirely up to the others as much as it is up to ourselves to have freedom. That is why we Americans need guns.

freedom to do what? a lot of people I know that own guns never served in the military. and as far as I know, the only people who "fight for our freedom" are those who do so against foreign aggressors. anything domestic is simply crime.


maybe you can explain this position better, but as it stands it all sounds pretty arbitrary, anon. healthcare isn't free because you say so, and freedom isn't free because you say so.

Eurodates (dd-mm-yyyy) goes little-to-big (days then months then years) for groups of digits, but big-to-little for digits withi a group.

>>
>>742556973
I'm not the anon you initially responded to but I can help a bit.

>nothing is free, and that includes healthcare

Everything has a cost. Training, pay, overhead etc. Free healthcare does indeed cost. It will cost in tax money that you pay. The bitch about this is mainly that we will provide health care to people who do not pay in. I believe most of the issue would go away if, in America, we had less illegal immigrants and free loading people on disability for being fat, lazy etc. Most people here do not want to help someone who is unwilling to help themselves. We're generally ok with helping people who are trying but struggling, but cannot stand the idea of helping someone who does nothing for themselves.

>Freedom came, and still comes, at a cost such as the lives lost defending it

Freedom is not represented only by outside threat. Freedom is the ability to make choices for yourself and not be forced into things by other. Read; a foreign power, your own government, a political party, your neighbor etc. In America, we have the second amendment simply to protect against the possible tyranny of our own government. And there is some basis in our need for that, because the War of Independence was over the tax rate and lack of parliamentary representation.

In our society, it is up to each person to ensure that they can respond to the need to fight for the freedom of our people against inside or outside threats. Our military generally handles the outside threat, but we are still expected to defend our territory if someone were to land on our soil.

Without weapons, we would be unable to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government.

Now... whether your average Joe would even recognize tyranny is a totally different discussion. We have guns because we SHOULD be smart enough to recognize it.

What part of "nothing is free" do you not understand? If you're trying to get philosophical, then I'll break it down for you. If you want something free, you should want nothing, because only then would you have everything for free.

It's really simple though: nothing is free; everything takes work.

Also, there are people out there that do not like the way we Americans live, both domestically and internationally. There are people that would gladly harm us for many reasons. A burglar is a simple example. I'd be happy to shoot a burglar.

The world isn't all peace and love. It's messy; it's a jungle out there.
>>
>>742557641

>If you want something free, you should want nothing, because only then would you have everything for free

>It's really simple though: nothing is free; everything takes work

individually, or as a society? or do you make a distinction between the two?

for example, what if we invent a robot that fix a lot of health issues? like in that movie, some sort of machine that can repair you? should people have to pay a lot of money to use it so the owner of the machine can make a huge profit? should people only pay what it takes to cover the cost of the machine? or should people not pay anything because the machine doesn't incur cost?

>Also, there are people out there that do not like the way we Americans live, both domestically and internationally. There are people that would gladly harm us for many reasons. A burglar is a simple example. I'd be happy to shoot a burglar.

again, I believe there is a difference between "crime" and "threats to our freedom." a burglar trying to invade your home to steal your stuff doesn't compare to Nazi Germany invading your country and toppling your government.

>The world isn't all peace and love. It's messy; it's a jungle out there

>tyranny of our own government

if the standing military of the united states, to include all active members and members of all policing organizations, sided with the "tyrannical" government, would private ownership of weapons truly give the "people" a chance to stop the government? also, consider how many citizens would accept this tyranny over risking their lives to stop it. in this scenario, can you please demonstrate how private ownership of guns improves your chances?

People think about cost on an individual level. They do not want to foot the bill for another individual who is not willing to pay into the system. No one likes being the person at work who does most of the work while their coworkers play on their phones. It's the same principal with taxing us for socialized medicine.

If we were to invent a robot that could fix health issues, that might be a game changer. Though the capitalists would say that the inventor/manufacturers should continue to make money ad infinitum. The socialists would say that no one should have to pay for it ever. The middle ground might eventually end up more as a pay until the costs are recouped, but there is a strong argument against that as well. There are plenty of toll roads/bridges in the US that were set up and the promise was once they recouped the losses, the toll would go away, but it never did. Governments loathe losing an income source.

There are 320 million people in the US. Less than 2 million in the US military, including active reserves. Roughly another 2 million in the police forces across the US. There are an estimated 270 to 310 million privately owned firearms in the US. Pretty sure we have them grossly outnumbered.

You assume that private citizens would not accept the risk, but you also assume that every police officer and military member would side against them. You cannot legitimately assume both premises. The fact would be that many would not arm themselves and many in the armed forces and police forces would oppose the government. Regardless, the numbers would be overwhelmingly against the establishment.

Of course, it was a stupid mistake, but we're human and we do that. If you are not from the US, what exactly has your people done in space? Did you guys land your Mars rover? What did your people contribute to the ISS? How is your Hubble doing? If your people DID get up the ISS, how did they get there?

No one likes being the person at work who does most of the work while their coworkers play on their phones. It's the same principal with taxing us for socialized medicine.

but with socialized medicine, it isn't just the "undeserving" that get the help. you, the taxpayer, also receive the medicine. while I agree with you that "nobody likes being the person at work who does most of the work [etc]" I also think that anyone who is being fairly compensated for their work should stop whining about what other people get. furthermore, in social medicine, BOTH parties receive healthcare and YOU the taxpayer receive money from the job you work, as well as (hopefully) a sense of satisfaction from being employed. before you being talking about "welfare" I want to preemptively point out that social welfare is largely a state issue, so it varies all over the US in terms of how strict it is.

>If we were to invent a robot that could fix health issues, that might be a game changer....[etc]

thanks for being honest and conceding the point, unlike the original guy I was talking to.

>the rest of your post

it is not an issue of numbers. these "militias" would not have access to a lot of resources that would be required to go toe-to-toe with the standing military of a tyrannical government.

so I want to ask, what constitutes a tyranny in your mind? you seem to imply that you don't think they would have the majority control of the military, nor would they command power among the majority of citizens.

Private health care also gives you the healthcare you need and does not make you pay for someone who is not helping to pay in. That system rewards people to do not pay in and penalizes people who do. The cost remains the same, but as the amount of people paying in goes down, the cost per person paying in goes up. And why pay in when you can get it for free without having to? People are lazy and it is a recurring theme in our society that people will do as little as possible to get what they need/want.

Fair compensation for work..... well, if I'm doing half of the work, and you are doing half the work, we should be paid the same, correct. But what if you are doing half the work, I'm doing 10% of the work and 4 other anons are doing 10% of the work? The fact is, in most circumstances, we are all being paid the same. I would argue that in the example above, you are not being fairly compensated for your work. You should get 50% of the pay, while myself and the 4 other lazy ass anons get 10% each. But that's not how it works out, and that would reflect in our propensity to do as little as possible and receive as much as we can.

All over the world, small groups of insurgents manage to stave off much larger governmental forces. The fact of the matter is that every military base in the US could be overrun by the people within 24 hours. I'm not saying that they would, logistically, we could not organize our population that well, but numbers matter, and we do not lack firepower. Those resources can be taken when a base is overrun. A simple war of attrition would win it. Our odds are 80:1 in our favor.

What constitutes tyranny in my mind is irrelevant to our discussion. Our discussion is philosophical in nature and asking me to define tyranny is attempting to bring it into banal reality. I'm not trying to argue with you. I'm answering your questions.

I do not believe any occupational group would side with one side. We are a divided culture.

>>742560260

and you don't think that the price of guns on the black market would increase because they have to be imported from a money hungry cartel?

but more to the point, think of it as a tool for law enforcement. if they pull someone over, and he has a gun in the car, chances are pretty good that person is a criminal if gun ownership isn't as common as it is now.

I mean, you would think drugs from mexico would be expensive, but they aren't.

And true, it would work as a "tool" for law enforcement, as long as we don't go the british route of disarming police.

But honestly, the outlaw of guns just isn't feasible in this country. The country was born from war, and the new government formed under the wary eye of people who just had a bad time with powerful governments.

While gun ownership definitely causes deaths that could be avoided, its ingrained in the culture of the country, and it serves an important role weighing one side of an invisible balance between people and their government.

Yes but a massive increase in crime with other weapons. London currently has a knife crime epidemic not to mention the vehicle based attacks.

Yeah, I certainly did not live next to Camp Pendleton for 28 years. And I did not have plenty of Marine friends who served there and certainly never visited the LARGEST MARINE BASE IN THE WORLD uncounted times. And I certainly have never had hundreds of aquantances and friends who served in every branch of the military including the shitty Coast Guard and never served myself. But hey, glad you know what I've done with my life on your side of the screen.

Yet it doesn't change the fact that your claim to fame is all built on foreign knowledge and skills.

Any ACTUAL American inventions end up being heavily limited in scope or usefulness, and downright dangerous in some cases.
Some of them weren't useful until many MANY years after they were created because we simply lacked the means to make use of the concept.

please be assured that I am reading everything, I just don't want to repost everything but need to organize for clarity.

>Private health

the problem with your argument is that you assume all healthcare is equal and available. a manager at a wealthy company might have a "gold package" that covers everything, but what about the man on the factory floor who works 40 hours a week but does not have access to company health care because they drop him to 36 hours every two weeks in order to keep him as "part time" and thus avoid the mandate to provide healthcare? this man, if he needs to get health care, would have to go outside the company and buy it. I will use my brother as an example: the cheapest package he can get in our state wants him to pay 170 USD a month with a 2000 USD deductible. so unless he incurs more than 2000 USD in medical bills for the year, he has to pay for all of his medicine out of pocket and still pay the company 170 USD. also, a lot of coverage doesn't exist in that package since it is so cheap.

I do not think it is moral for a society to allow a man to die on the street from a treatable ailment simply because he "didn't pay in." its like the fire department letting your house burn down because you were delinquent in paying last years taxes.

>Fair compensation for work

if you aren't being paid for the work you do, then you aren't being fairly compensated. if you speak with your employer about the issue and he does not increase your pay, then decrease the work you do to the level of your peers. if you "get fired" because of it, then you are better off not working for that company since they will not reward you for your work.

>All over the world

they only manage to do so because of support they receive from outside sources. furthermore, in most cases, these people are fighting against a poorly funded and poorly armed government in their borderline 3rd world country. this is the USA we are talking about, drones and all.

drugs from mexico are cheap because drug production is cheap and it competes with drugs made here in the US. if we totally stopped making drugs in the US, do you really think Mexican drugs would remain cheap?

honestly, anon, everything else you said is defeatist. "oh well, that's the way things were and will always be so no use in trying." and it is not an "invisible balance" between the people and the government; this isn't 1775 when all it takes is some drunk farmers with their granddads flintlock to organize under a yellow flag taking pot shots at military columns from the safety of the trees.

>>742561361
Well gun control certainly doesn't help and especially not refusing to arm the police except after terror attacks. The documentary "inside the gang: young blood" shows that despite all the laws kids can still get guns in this country. While gun control will decrease the majority of gun based crime (never completely but close) it will cause other weapon based crimes to go up. This is the unfortunate reality. **People who want to commit crimes with weapons will always find a weapon.** See the knife control failing to stop knife crime.

I am not saying there shouldn't be restrictions on guns. I think requiring a licence and mandatory background check for yourself and all family members as well as a home check to make sure your guns will be secure should be in place. In the UK we need a licence to own guns. This is fair.
>>
>>742562047
If they didn't allow unrestrained mass immigration, the amount of knife attacks would drop significantly.

The "criminals still do it anyway so banning is stupid" meme is retarded. Criminals still steal, so I guess making stealing illegal is pointless and just punishing law-abiding citizens who don't get free stuff.
>>
>>742562047

>we need a licence to own guns. This is fair.

I can agree with that. But your restrictions on knives and guns are way too harsh.

>>742562210

Making stealing illegal will only harm those who steal. Making knives/guns illegal will only harm law-abiding citizens.
