guns don't kill people, pigs do.
i've decided we should disarm the police, like in England.
there's alot of reasons this makes sense, and the more i think about it the more i'm surprised it didn't occur to me earlier. first, the simple and obvious line of thought: your average idiot is not qualified to make decisions about who lives and who dies on an everyday basis, and when we're talking about the types of idiots who are attracted to a cop's job description, the situation's even worse. it can usually be assumed that if these people had any redeeming qualities at all, they'd have something better to do with their lives than take orders and push people around and lock them in cages. there's a few exceptions: some cops are deluded enough to think they're helping people, even though cops never stop crime, they just fill out paperwork on it. these people would be EMTs if they had a brain, but they don't so they shouldn't have a gun.
(anyone offended by the above logic can kindly fuck themselves.)
to my thinking, this is convincing enough, but i thought about it some more anyway.
people's thinking is highly effected by guns. this has been shown in studies, and anyone who's been around guns has experienced it. it's perfectly natural: a gun is a really powerful device capable of blowing big holes in most things, and everyone knows this. when you look at a gun, this occurs to you. when someone points one at you, this occurs to you. when you're holding one, this occurs to you and makes you think about pointing it at stuff. this wears off, of course, like everything does: after awhile you get used to it. i doubt most cops walk around imagining shooting holes in everything; they're used to carrying a gun around and they've gotten over it, but it's still there in the back of their mind somewhere. on some level, they know they are carrying a weapon and can kill basically anyone they can see, if they want. imagine what that must do to your personality after a few years, or a few decades. day after day, interacting with civilians that your subconscious recognizes at prey.
not that i'm hating on the guns. guns are just like that, because people are people. cops shouldn't have guns, because they want them, and citizens should have guns, because they need them. and we should all have more sense than to want to shoot each other.
but we don't. and that's why i'm pro-abortion.
