That just sounds like communism with more steps.

Anyway, doesn't matter, not the topic.


I won’t deviate any further, and will refer you to this thread to better explain my position: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=427693&start=600

Back to the subject of firearm control. I do believe however, that if one rejects central authority (as the Americans seem keen to do), leaving society as a mass of self-serving individuals, then everyone should own firearms, because no organ of state authority is going to adequately protect the citizenry in such an arrangement. However, if one acknowledges the primacy of state/central authority, there should be no reason for civilians to compete with the enforcement of state authority. This competition is simply a breeding ground for civil unrest and possible (albeit unsuccessful) uprisings if citizens feel 'unhappy’ with the state for whatever reason.

Because if you Google it, the only thing that comes up are the threads that he's mentioned it on.

It’s official membership is quite secretive and they refuse to post online about their activities (at least by name). But believe me, they’re real. One of my friends belongs to the ‚organisation’ and told me about/gave me non-digital copies of their work. Also, they are not an English-language based group, so if they were to have any internet existence, they would probably frequent non-English spheres.

He took a Russian word meaning high and lofty and ism on the end and made up Vysovnism and acts like its up there with communism or capitalism. It's just a bunch of bs.

You know I can make up a fake group as well and say it's real by saying they don't post online at all. You know your ploy to sound smarter would work if the only google search didn't come back to your post and nothing else.

Because nothing bad will happen at all. Nope.

If you’re not on active duty in the police or the military, you will arrested simply for possession of a firearm.

How exactly would they know that I have a gun?

All civilian firearms would be confiscated. Those that don’t comply face arrest.

Good luck confiscating 600 million guns. Oh and you're going to have to arrest at least half the nation

Sure, such plans go against all American ideas (2nd Amendment),

Ya think?

but these plans are the only solution that works.

Ya no they aren't.

Again fuck that. Rights are paramount, if we don't uphold our rights then we have nothing

Here is a quick, non-rhetorical, question, and you can answer this however you want.. Do you know what a gun is?


First, there are many types of guns (handguns-revolvers, semi-automatic handguns), carbines (shortened rifles), semi-automatic rifles, etc.). I could go on and on. I will point out that 'gun' is not really a good word, since 'gun', in the traditional sense referred to artillery pieces, not personal weapons.

I define a 'gun’ (although I hate using that inaccurate term) as any device that propels a projectile through a tube using accelerating gas (air, CO2, smoke from gunpowder, etc.), resulting in near-supersonic or higher speeds (245 metres per second). A firearm, specifically, is any of the above defined weapons that exploits the combustion of a solid (or liquid) chemical to achieve the accelerated gas. Moreover, the process is contained in a single object, the round, which contains the bullet (aerodynamic projectile), the casing housing the powder that is attached to the bullet, and the primer (spark generator). Most bullets (centerfire) have a specifically (centrally) located primer that must be struck to ignite the powder.

Anyway, enough technical talk. I hope that I have shown that I know what 'guns’ are (I have even regularly fired 5,5 mm rifles at one point in my life).

First, there are many types of guns (handguns-revolvers, semi-automatic handguns), carbines (shortened rifles), semi-automatic rifles, etc.). I could go on and on. I will point out that 'gun' is not really a good word, since 'gun', in the traditional sense referred to artillery pieces, not personal weapons.

I define a 'gun’ (although I hate using that inaccurate term) as any device that propels a projectile through a tube using accelerating gas (air, CO2, smoke from gunpowder, etc.), resulting in near-supersonic or higher speeds (245 metres per second). A firearm, specifically, is any of the above defined weapons that exploits the combustion of a solid (or liquid) chemical to achieve the accelerated gas. Moreover, the process is contained in a single object, the round, which contains the bullet (aerodynamic projectile), the casing housing the powder that is attached to the bullet, and the primer (spark generator). Most bullets (centerfire) have a specifically (centrally) located primer that must be struck to ignite the powder.

Anyway, enough technical talk. I hope that I have shown that I know what 'guns’ are (I have even regularly fired 5,5 mm rifles at one point in my life).

Try searching for what I just wrote. I never copied nor pasted anything into this post. I actually wrote it myself.

I’m only something of a mouthpiece for my friend, who categorically refuses to use the internet for political purposes.

Well then there's no real point in engaging with you is there?

Formulate your own opinions based on research and evidence, don't just parrot the ones your friend gives you.
