>They try to disarm the public in the name of safety while arming themselves to the teeth and solving every problem they have with the threat of violence.
because I have a friend who used this basic argument to say gun control increases the likelihood of a nuclear strike on DC by North Korea.
And by "disarm" I presume in the terms of rights/finances/influence....rather than literally in terms of guns.
The simple fact is uncle sam solves every problem with violence so I'm not surprised when it's citizens act the same way.
However, I can't stop my eye's from rolling at someone telling me that if everyone had guns, there would be no nuclear threat from any person/group/country. I honestly don't understand how one can connect to the other.
