If you don’t support gun control, you’re not pro-life. It’s that simple.

@rbreich As an Anarcho-Communist I don't support gun control. Due to my mistrust in hierarchical authorities and my belief in decentralized power structures, I believe that an armed populace is better equipped to resist coercion and oppression, and thus can more easily foster a more egalitarian society. I believe individual access to firearms aligns with the principles of self governance and collective autonomy.

@Radical_EgoCom @rbreich I don't believe in individual gun ownership. The deaths in the USA is my evidence but I'm in the UK

@Christo @rbreich I believe gun ownership is necessary for empowering the populace against potential oppressive structures and for self-defense. I also believe that addressing the root causes of gun violence, such as socio-economic inequality, is more crucial than imposing gun control measures, which disproportionately affects marginalized communities without addressing the systemic issues that cause gun violence.

@Christo @rbreich I believe the elimination of mass shootings can be achieved by dealing with and eliminating the systematic issues that cause them to occur without depriving people of their means of defense.

@Radical_EgoCom @rbreich American is drowning in guns. Nobody envisaged individual gun ownership let alone military grade weapons in suburbia.

@Christo @rbreich The issue of gun violence isn't the presence of guns per se, but rather the social and economic structures that lead to violence. Focusing on individual gun ownership distracts from addressing the root causes of gun violence. It's much more efficient to address the systematic causes that compel people to resort to gun violence.

@Radical_EgoCom @Christo @rbreich well societies where there are no so many guns don’t have the problem, so the solution is pretty simple…

@sxpert @rbreich @Christo What exactly do you think the solution is? Your last comment said something about removing the people. How exactly would one go about doing that?

@Radical_EgoCom @rbreich @Christo well, you have to remove something from the equation.If for some political reason you can’t do the same sane thing as the rest of the planet, then you have to take away those unstable people that can’t be trusted with guns to mental institution.You’re gonna say then that thisp proposition is insane, and you’d be right. Not limiting guns ownership to sane people is henceforth absurd

@sxpert Oh dear. The fascist creep thinks hurling ablist slurs from behind a block is going to do something. Pity I can't take him back in time a few years to 90s Glasgow and show him the disarmed paradise I grew up in. Be very funny to watch when he had a go at the wrong person... :blobfox3cevil: @Christo @Radical_EgoCom

@sxpert Oh dear, oh *dear,* the fascist is persisting in his delusions! Let's see now, slurs, ablism, demanding the imprisonment of "insane" people, and, of course, very eager to disarm all the most vulnerable members of society, to make it easy for his Gestapo of choice! Quite a lot of fascism there, yet this creep insists he's not fascist! Perhaps we should lock *him* up, since he is obviously delusional? :blobfox3cevil: @Christo @Radical_EgoCom

@Radical_EgoCom @Christo @rbreich is it more efficient? Like, I see what you're saying and you're making some good points. We absolutely should address the root causes of gun violence. But what part of that is going to be efficient? What sort of all encompassing solution are you proposing? What about all the gun violence deaths that will happen in the meantime?I mean, from this discussion alone it's clear that we don't all even agree that gun violence is bad. I just wonder what it will take.

@steelystiletto @Christo @rbreich Some solutions for gun violence, like community-driven conflict resolution programs to resolve conflicts before they escalate further, social welfare initiatives to ensure basic needs are met so people won't resort to violence for food etc, and educational efforts promoting responsible firearm use, would mitigate the root causes of gun violence much better without relying on regulatory measures.

@chaosrsa @steelystiletto @Christo @rbreich Social pressure, community discussions, and restorative justice approaches would be employed to encourage responsible firearm ownership and to deal with non-compliance with personal gun safety.

@Radical_EgoCom @steelystiletto @Christo @breach@masto.ai explain your understanding of restorative justice. Because it seems like you are saying that if someone has no personal gun safety and a injury occurs then just talk to them and give them a gun.

@chaosrsa @steelystiletto @Christo Anarcho-Communists, like myself, view restorative justice as an alternative to punitive systems, focusing on repairing harm and addressing the root causes of conflicts rather than punishment. In the context of gun violence, this approach would involve community-based processes, dialogue, and support mechanisms to rehabilitate individuals, understand the factors contributing to the violence, and work collectively towards preventing future incidents.

@chaosrsa @steelystiletto @Christo You're intentionally making what I'm saying sound more ridiculous than it actually is as a means to put my argument in a bad light instead of just coming up with a counter argument against my position, most likely due to you being incapable of coming up with one, which is just sad that you have to resort to such measures only to create the illusion in your own mind, and no others, that you've "won" this debate.

@Radical_EgoCom @steelystiletto @Christo I am not in a argument with you, I am trying to understand you and if you think your stance in misrepresented then you need to clarify. If you think it is a bad light then that is up to you, I am just trying so simplify what you are saying. Your position so far is guns should be own by anyone regardless of age or mental capacity, if something happens then talk to them about it so nothing like that will happen again.

@chaosrsa @steelystiletto @Christo That's not my position at all. I don't think anyone should own a gun regardless of age of mental capacity, I believe that individual gun ownership isn't the cause of gun violence, and that education and social pressure will steer communities into the right direction. Also, comparing restorative justice to "just talking to people is as bad as comparing therapy to "just talking to people", both being methods of conflict resolution that have been proven to work.

The term you are looking for is social permaculture. Social Permaculture—What Is It?The key insight of social #permaculture is that, while changing individuals is indeed difficult, we can design social structures that favor beneficial patterns of human behavior. Just as, in a garden, we might mulch to discourage weeds and favor beneficial soil bacteria, in social systems we can attempt to create conditions that favor #nurturing, #empowering #relationships.

If I look at an individual of the kind you are discussing here, my first uneducated guess is that they need a therapy (most probably family therapy, too). If we speak of the whole population, with so many fetishisms combined, opioid and other addictions at an epidemic scale, etc., etc., then perhaps a huge mental health program is needed (beginning with mental health checks for all current and aspiring public officials). Which is as feasible, as the nation-wide gun control or an anarcho-communist revolution (change my mind). "Gun control", as discussed here, will bring short-term effects and save lives - den diafono. However, unless it is followed - with even greater determination - by a profound change in social dynamics (see my remark on social permaculture in a subthread here), it will be just a palliative drug, bringing temporary relief to make the agony of the US society marginally more bearable.

@sxpertThe society with the most gun ownership in the world, Switzerland, also doesn't have the problem, so I don't think the guns are the problem in the US ;) Society is the problem. @rbreich @Christo @Radical_EgoCom
