Why? Lots of people have guns, and almost all of them are never a problem to anyone. Perhaps we should look into why violence happens and address those root causes and of course disarm the police because their only purpose is violence.
Everyone having guns is the sole reason there’s so many police shootings. Nothing is going to change until the general population is unarmed.
What an insane take. Plenty of police shootings are on unarmed individuals. Moreover, having an unarmed populace wouldn’t prevent police shootings when the core cause of police brutality isn’t addressed. They demand control and obedience; you being unarmed doesn’t make them any less likely to shoot you if you’re not being obedient.
That’s not a “take” that’s reality lol
US cops have to always assume that someone can be armed given the insane amount of guns and ease of access. That is directly correlated with the wide spread use of lethal force.
Cops in countries with sane gun laws, for example the UK, can safely assume the average citizen does not have a gun on them.
