    What kinds of guns?

    Which guns would you take to work or go grocery shopping?

    Which guns would you give your kids to go to school?

    Where would you buy ammunition when the gangs and cartels control all gun and ammunition trade? (Along with the synthetic drugs and human trafficking)

      All of those are personal preferences.

      I guess you’d just have your child slaves make the ammo.

      I find it not at all difficult to talk to people on the left about theory, but there’s no end of smugness coming the other way. I really love the concept of lemmy and the room it has for learning new things about social relationships, but fuck.

        Yeah, I’m asking you about your personal preferences.

        My personal preference would be that labor is regulated so that child labor is illegal. And that guns are legal but reasonably regulated so that I don’t have to carry an arsenal with me because someone at the grocery store with diagnosed mental illness packing a ton of heat might get upset and decide to unload into a crowd of people.

          I’d like all human interaction to be voluntary. Pragmatically I’m fine with not letting kids work.

          As for guns? Tally ho lads! I don’t own any but I’m not comfortable with most firearm regulations.
