>we should crack down on criminal activity by giving the police and government more authority to ensure a safer, friendlier community
Americans
>we should remove more power from our police and government to ensure a more hostile community and become vigilantes
Thoughts?
anon, its not about removing power from the police, its about arming the individual because we cannot always rely on the police
>>128651102
Why not? Is the police too far away or untrustworthy?
>>128651382
they are too far away in rural areas and too untrustworthy in urban areas
defending your life from imminent danger is a right here in the US
The rest of the world can fuck off and do whatever they want who cares

wew, benefits of living in a multicultural and state level governing country. If America would ever accept a national government that enforces laws on all states there shouldn't be corruption and inept abilities
>>128651963
local gov + state gov + federal gov is the best way
>>128651717
I'd rather everone be safe than put man against man and justify killing (criminal or defenders side) as being american
It doesn't apply to you nor is this an actual political discussion. It will be a bunch of non Americans spout off muh feels arguments and refuse to accept any data on the gun violence being linked to race. I put sage on all of my dishes.

Isn't it really time consuming if you want things done? In the commonwealth since all our govs were cucked by England, they basically follow the Westminster Parliamentary system. I don't know too much about that but once Parliament manages to pass a law/regulation etc, it's enforced nationwide immediately or when soecified date. The only recent example I can think of is when you guys made it legal for gay people to get married
>>128652851
it allows us to experiment a little with laws, for example legalizing marijuana or gay marriage
>>128652388
I don't even understand what you're trying to say
Guns are illegal in Mexico and look what happens , people still get guns
>>128653573
That's because their government is shit tier. In a functioning society the gov would have very strict rules and regulations and no black market bullshit. Why do you think countries like Japan and especially south korea don't have guns despite being so close to Russia?
>>128651907
This
and it turns out America is right.
>>128650777
YOU SAY 'NO' TO MY AR-15, YOU FUCKIN' PRICK! YOU AIN'T GONNA ABLE TO SAY 'NO' TO ME WHEN I GET TO YOUR HOUSE, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!
>>128654950
>>Implying your government isn't shit tier
Please tell me, OP, as simply as you can:
Why do I need to justify defending myself?
>>128650777
What's with the flood of cucks, socialists and commies on this board???? fucking shit. Physical removal required.
Not a single self-reliant american man?
>>128650777
when your police are doing no knock raids, murdering dogs, or driving around in mraps maybe it'll be an issue for you as well.
>>128650777
Yeah. Fuck off.

r you too young, too ignorant or too stupid? maybe too pampered?
what do you do if your multicultural central gov (the only ones with arms) just decided that it will deprive you of your rights? Of course its for your own good. Keep quiet and don't resist.
>>128658350
i think you misunderstood. i am pro 2nd amendment and against gun control.
>>128654950
US likes black market bullshit
We like freedom more than safety
>>128654950
>Why do you think countries like Japan and especially south korea don't have guns despite being so close to Russia?
actually there millions of hunters in Japan who own firearms.
but guns are a part of American culture in a way that is not replicated in any other land

As technology advances, eventually automated systems will stop crime before it happens using predictive algorithms (We are testing this in the UK for prison sentences).
Do you think you will need a means to protect yourself once the technology has reached this point? Where police can stop crime instantly?
>>128650777
Have you tried painting all cops guns like OP's image?
>>128659926
>As technology advances, eventually automated systems will stop crime before it happens using predictive algorithms
I doubt it.
I have guns and ammo. Try to rob me
>>128650777
>vigilantes
A responsible citizen is the best government a nation can, and should have, and all government should be subservient to it's citizens, without even a possibility for total oppression.
You can't stop attacks from happening. You can't get rid of all dangers. You probably don't (and shouldn't) want to restrict crowds from assembling.
We want people who can and will take responsibility for themselves and their neighbors. If your society can not do that, it is not a society worth having.

Lol that's my revolver in the OP.

You can monitor their phone calls, online activity, recent purchases, track vehicle movement etc. Using a combination of this information plus deep learning technology, the AI can predict the next course of action (Once fed enough samples to be accurate). Then it an alert the authorities and advise them on the best course of action.

Division of power. The Feds have their enumerated powers, and the power of the States are "broad and general". Of course, D.C. has been edging toward the type of statist centralization you seem to be proposing for decades now.
