is a well-armed society really a more polite society, or does our risk tolerance just rise proportionally?

If you need guns for that then your society is shit anyway.

>>32558735
the point is not whether you or i are going to be polite, but how it works on a large scale. don't get me wrong, i'm a gun owner myself, but i'm struggling to envision a scenario where two assholes with guns turn into two polite people with guns rather than a shooter and a homocide victim.

Quit being edgy cal. I bet you're the kid that got punched and said you were gonna shoot them and the rest of the bullies.

Also nice bait, I bit it hard

The same as a scenario when two pissed off people dont clobber the shit out of eachother.

>>32558783
the chest-beaters are the ones who have never actually had to use a gun in self-defense before.
>>32558807
the alternative happens with a pretty consistent frequency though. the idea of the "polite society" meme is that if these two people who would have otherwise engaged in a fist-fight would have not engaged in violence in any capacity if both were armed. i'm personally not buying it.

>>32558783
>I bet you're the kid that got punched
and then i knocked some teeth out. i aint know pussie. i can throw fists.

>>32558835
the carry of the gun provides the deterrent and defense. Locked doors work the same way.

Really comes down to the people. Niggers with guns will always be niggers with guns. Rednecks with guns will be rednecks with guns. Thieves/robbers won't try as much shit if they know there will be fatal consequences for their actions. Considering most careers criminals are either: A) well connected enough or rich enough to get themselves out of shit, or B) so lowbrow dumb kr in with other criminals that they don't give a fuck about prison. Disarming america WILL make shit worse. There's always the odd school shooter, but those are always blown out of proportion compared to violent crime in urbanized areas

A well armed society only makes for polite cops and scared criminals. Those are good things though.

Go too far and your "polite society" is pic related. Not that Is would mind too much. Would be more interesting than a socialist liberal hugbox at least

So is Somalia.

>I'm not buying it

that's literally the case. People start fights because they don't think that there's a potentially lethal outcome. They think they can brutalise their victim and that it wont escalate past punching. The presence of a firearm means that if you instigate something, it will quickly escalate, and likely not in your favour.

In your scenario, the people who are angry at eachother and want to punch on instead have the mentality of wanting to murder the other person. You're not being realistic.

I'll give you an example from nofuns land
>sitting in my front yard having a few beers with mates
>crowd of gatecrashers comes down the street, heading to a party down the road
>one of them comes from behind where I'm sitting and hits in the back of the head with a beer bottle.
>I'm knocked out cold
>the rest of them attack my friends, who fight back
>one friend goes inside and gets a baseball bat, starts swinging and eventually fights them off

A bunch of fuckwits in their late teens decided to randomly attack a group of men minding their own business just because they thought it was fun. I firmly believe if owning firearms was permitted for self defence purposes here, cunts wouldn't behave like that. Because instead of a baseball bat, my friend could have returned with a shotgun and fucking killed them.

i have an uncle with adhd, and anger issues, who is huge, scary as fuck, and he spent some lovely years fighting viet cong. he mouths off to police, crazy people, religious leaders, who ever. he has also on one or two occasions needed to draw his gun when people thought pulling a knife on him would be a good idea.
>>
>>32560092
there are exceptions. a shitty tripfag on 4chan is not your vietnam veteran uncle. for the vast majority of people, using deadly force is an unsavory experience that scars and stays with them for life. ask me how i know.
>>32559965
i don't think violence is rationalized. people who commit senseless acts of violence are not predisposed to consequence-based thinking. you're missing the other half of the argument as well, which is that in an armed society, those guys most likely would have had guns too.
>>
>>32560262
>those guys most likely would have had guns too
just to extrapolate a bit, i'm not trying to say that they would have crashed into your yard and murdered you. maybe they come in and do the same thing, but instead of a bat, your buddy goes inside and grabs a 12 gauge. if the "gatecrashers" were strapped themselves, you're now involved in a deadly conflict.

i'm not sure how familiar aussies are with the whole trayvon martin fuckassery, but i think that's a pretty good demonstration of how firearms can escalate a situation. yeah, zimmerman put himself into that situation in the first place, and even though the shooting was justified, it was needless. the fact that he had a gun on him escalated the conflict from him getting his ass beat to him potentially losing control of a weapon and getting killed.

i just don't think the issue is as cut and dry as you guys could have it.
