Wow they broke the rules, snuck daggers in and political violence skyrocketed. Surely there is a lesson to be learned here... Nah guns good, always have been.
Well Americans aren't taking lessons from the rest of the democratised world right now so I thought they might relate better with a culture more akin to their own.
Obviously almost anything can be used as an improvised weapon but they will never be as effective as weapons designed with the specific purpose of killing people. There is a huge difference between a cleaver and a gladius that's why the Romans didn't arm their soldiers with kitchenware.
This is a reductive thought process which only serves the purpose of fostering complacency within the most exploited. "Starving kids in Africa" type argument
Americans will look you dead in the eyes and say "the second amendment empowers us to protect ourselves from tyranny and that's why today America is the freest and safest country in the world" with a straight face.
My Medicare card does more to protect me than every gun in the US does to protect a single American. Then these "under no pretext" brainlets come in as if the literal poster child for capitalism wasn't built on that philosophy. Guns don't overthrow governments, organised groups do. Guns kill people.
I feel like I need to start going out onto street corners and yelling at people who walk by "YOU CAN SQUEEZE A BUTTERKNIFE BETWEEN THE LID AND THE GLASS AND INSTANTLY BREAK THE PRESSURE SEAL! IT WILL OPEN AS IF IT HAD ALREADY BEEN OPENED. YOU DONT NEED A SPECIALISED TOOL OR A GYM MEMBERSHIP!!"
My theory is they want to help and believe themselves capable but when someone asks a question that they don't know the answer to, they either have to admit to themselves that they don't know and aren't as capable as they thought or they have to find a way to blame the person asking for help. Mentally the path of least resistance is to just blame the user and it's also not exactly false to say it's the help seekers fault, it's just a bit of a dick move and unhelpful.
