This is the cheapest way how to defeat someone, supply the rebels with some old weapons and spectate what will happen. It is the best way how to control some country, you will choose the group of rebels which you will support. You don't need attack. The dictator has no chance if everyone has some weapon, therefore in US everyone has the weapon. Try to conquer the country where everyone has the weapon. There is a deep system in it. You can rule sheep but not lion. But human side is terrible, these people have freedom but for the price of thousands deaths. But it is probably the best way how to learn them democracy.
i like your explanation. In italy is common thought that americans are very stupid. They suffer a lot of slaughters and murders because everyone has a weapon, while in italy there are no slaughters, and not even frequent murders. So we usually wonder why US don't just forbid people to possess weaponry.
I found 2 main reasons for it:
- USA is a big country and maybe many live in very isolated areas where police intervention can be extremely slow, so they maybe need to defend themselves
- USA did a mistake allowing this situation and now it cannot go back, because many people now are addicted with weapons
yours is a third point.
A question: why when people don't agree with the government they don't take up their weapons and rebel? if in italy we don't agree with government we go to big meetings in rome or milano and we take sticks and molotov. you could do more damage, and therefore more "effect" with your arsenal
