If the whole country was packing, how many people are going to want to try robbing a bank? Or holding up a convenience store? Nothing keeps a gun in a holster like the threat of 10 more guns coming out of the holster.

An armed society is a polite society.

this would mean it’s up to each individual to regulate their own disagreements at gun point.

That's the point. Everyone would be more inclined to listen to another person's point of view and is more than happy to talk it out because if shit hits the fan, people will die.

Having every one armed and be their own police is the ultimate conservative way of doing things.

Our own history has proven you incorrect. You have become a statist and don’t even realize it.

Yeah so we have anarcho tyranny right now which is even worse. At least anarchy would level the playing field a bit so we could cull a few commies here and there.

At least in pure anarchy the state won’t come after me for defending myself.

No law enforcement would result in actually being able to dispose of communists, what is wrong with YOU lately?

That’s the same argument the anti gunners used to keep concealed carry illegal, and it was proved wrong. It’s the same they used to try to end/prevent open carry and it was wrong. Guess what? It’s still fucking wrong.

The police haven’t been a neutral third party in decades. Your argument is also incorrect that lacking a NTP will lead to violence. There are places all over the world that don’t have police, but have citizens armed with basic arms. There aren’t shoot outs whenever there is an argument. You are still falling back on the ‘blood in the streets’ argument that has been shown to be bullshit every single time.

I always get a kick out of people when they think they have come up with some knew way of doing things but really just devolving to how things have been throughout history to disastrous results lol
