In reply to the discussion: In an idealistic world why would anyone need any bullet or gun unless selfish? [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)5. This was already all debunked in OP.
If you read the OP,Everyone of the NRA soundbytes, and yours above is 100% accounted for in the scenerio above.
There is ZERO reason to have a bullet. ZERO.
unless one wants to kill or harm another.
the strawmen about the government, or even a violent mafia GANG, are all bull.
You can't kill the Mafia. Because if you kill one, twenty will revenge it.
Foolish to think a gun does anything.
and wild animals I gave that answer and others in the OP
Being afraid of a Boogie men and paranoia strawmen most certainly would say to me, that person does not need a gun, as they would have the Twitchy,Itchy, Trigger finger, as such,
would be prone to shoot themselves, their children, their pets, their spouse, their family and friends, etc.

I have no bullets. But I don't pretend things will always be organized and civilized.

+1. Both emotions are played consistently by the gun lobby to increase sales, not peace or justice.

Use a bow and arrow like the original Native Americans did before the interlopers took their land

Or just enact strict regulation, as other countries have done, and eliminate most gun violence.
