    I wonder how the handmaids tale would have gone if all the women had AK-47s?

    This is known as ‘The Nazi Gun Control Argument.’

      i mean, i would certainly rather be alone in the woods with an ak47, than without.

        I’ve been in a lot of woods and I can’t think of a time where a machine gun would have improved things for me.

          in this specific situation? I feel like it would probably help. To some degree.

            Depends on what bear we’re talking about here. Any bear but a grizzly or a polar bear is probably not going to mess with you in the first place unless you do something stupid like get between a mother and her cubs. And if a grizzly or polar bear are attacking you, you better be a good shot because they’re fast.

              oh true, i forgot polar bears. But why the fuck would a polar bear be in the forest?

              if we’re talking about a man though. It would probably help, i’m assuming we aren’t just pitted back to back in the woods or something.

                Polar bears might go into forests sometimes…

                  huh. That definitely sounds like polar bears to me.

      Afghanis drove out multiple world powers with rifles and homemade bombs.

        How did that work out for them?

          What argument are you making here?

            I already made it. The Nazi Gun Control argument. Afghanistan is back to how it was before the U.S. invaded, thousands of deaths later, so if that’s an example of how the Nazi Gun Control argument is false, it’s a poor one.

              Are you saying that there is a problem with Afghani culture, and that American culture is better or more valuable?

                Afghan. Afghani is a currency.

                  I take it you don’t want to engage the question because you realize the trap you’re in? That’s fine. Perhaps refrain from comparing people to Nazis in the future?

                    Considering you didn’t know that ‘Afghani culture’ wasn’t a thing, no, I didn’t answer your loaded question. But please do tell me about this so-called trap I’m in.
