What would you do if there is an intruder in your house that entered in your child's room and has the intention to kidnap him or harm him? Would you use any measures to stop the intruder from hurting your child, up to lethal force? Or would you just let the intruder do as he pleases?

Well here is the bad news for you, in Europe you get arrested if you hurt the intruder. You are supposed to call the police in that situation, and pray that they show up in time and pray that it's not them who will hurt your child instead, and in the meantime, you know, the intruder can just do what he wants.

I mean I am sure if you ask the intruder nicely he will leave alone your kid while you dial 112 (911 in Europe). I am sure the intruder is a gentleman that will wait until the police arrives and then gently surrender himself.

Or he might do who knows what kind of unimaginable things to your child, while you stand there helplessly waiting for the blue uniformed thugs to arrive and hope that everything will be well.

Right to Self Defense

Well the State doesn't want you to be an independent, empowered, safe human being. You are just a taxpayer slave, that is all you are in the eyes of the State. Your entire life you have been trained, indoctrinated, right from kindergarten, to be an obedient slave to authority, so when you become an adult you can go to work and pay those taxes to keep the system in perpetual motion.

So when you have any trouble, to solve it yourself, on your own, is never an option. You must always beg your master to solve it for you. And if he doesn't, like how the police sometimes show up 40-50 minutes after an emergency call, tough shit slave. But you must never take matters in your own hand, that is unthinkable.

So even if you beg your master to save you, and if he doesn't, you are still not allowed to save yourself on your own, you should just endure the consequences of your fate, but you must never take matters in your own hands, because that would mean that you are declaring your independence.

And a slave can't do that. That is the last thing that your master wants to see, his slaves running away.

Armed Citizenry?

Look I don't know what the healthy balance is between how armed a citizenry should be. Obviously machineguns have been used in many shooting incidents, mostly done by extremists, terrorists and so on.

And I don't think an armed revolt is feasible, nor I should thing that it should happen. Basically many libertarians and anarchists want a revolution. But I guarantee you, they will regret it, if one were to come. Well first of all the State has an overwhelming military force that can crush any revolution in an instant, possibly even before it happens through surveillance. Secondly, even if one were successful, it will probably be some right-wing Neo-Nazi group that would win, and that would make things very very bad. Most libertarians would participate in the revolution, but it will be quickly captured by more fanaticist groups, just like the Libertarian-Left revolution of 1917 was captured by extremist tyrannical Bolsheviks that caused massive atrocities after.

So I am really against violence, and my view would be to reduce violence on all aspects of society. A system born in violence will only create more violence. So I really think any kind of "revolution" has to be avoided at all costs, even the status-quo is better than that. I know many young people have this kind of revolutionary/rebellious attitude, but I can guarantee you, revolutions always make things worse.

So the goal is to reduce violence, systematic violence, therefore I don't really think machineguns or semi-automatics should be allowed in the current society. Now if we would live in a peaceful world, then people would not use them anyway, but in the current society I think the State has to prevent this, so machineguns should stay illegal. But to balance it out, the police should not use them either, so the militarization of the police has to be rolled back as well.

But this doesn't mean that pistols should be illegal. I think they should be legalized, for home defense purposes. Of course there will be many irresponsible people who will abuse it or be negligent about it, so it poses a risk if say some drunk guy with a pistol walks up to you at night. But it's not like criminals don't do that anyway with illegal weapons.

So if some criminal attacks you with a pistol on the street, and wants to rape you, what do you think he will let you call the police? Of course if you had a gun and you engage him, well then your life would be in danger too if you'd get into a shooting with him. But if he wants to rape you and then murder you, then you really don't have an option but to fight back.

So it really looks like in 90% of the situations the police is pretty useless. They won't arrive only after the crime, and if you are dead, then it won't really do you anything good.

So in this situation, the gun can save your life, and it might be the only thing that separates you from the grave.

Another option would be to just avoid danger all together, like not going out after 21:00, closing the doors and windows of your house, and living in fear for the rest of your life, fear of being attacked by criminals. But what kind of life is that?

So really if you want to live a decent life, not having to fear from anybody hurting you or your family, then you really need the ability to defend yourself and your family with any means necessary.

I think gun ownership laws really need to be relaxed, especially for pistols, in Europe. Given that the current immigrant wave only creates more crime more gangs, and people are defenseless, while these thugs already have illegal weapons.
