Guns are the worst issue because everyone is fucking crazy so you don’t want anyone to have one. But everyone is fucking crazy so you need one to protect yourself. But you’re also fucking crazy, so it will greatly increase the chances you off yourself.

@alex Eh, people who want to get them will always find a way tbh. I do not think everyone should have it. It shouldn't be normal that everyone has one.

People act stupid because of emotions. Guns need to be used responsibly, but it still should be possible to get one, yet not something that is too easy.
@RobinWils @alex I hate arguments against firearms. If somebody wishes harm upon others, they will harm them regardless. I'm not saying that is what you said, clearly it isn't. Laws only make things harder floor law abiding citizens. Plus, with limited tools you can manufacture your own firearms anyways, legally.

@jawsh @RobinWils >If somebody wishes harm upon others, they will harm them regardless

That goes against pretty much all design and UX principles I’ve learned. People are detered by the smallest inconveniences. Even talking on the phone will deter attackers. Using two different types of bike locks will deter competent thieves from taking even the most expensive bikes. If you make something accessible in the UI people will use it. If you bury it, they’ll use it less. If someone is really motivated, small inconveniences won’t stop them. But if you put something in front of people, they’ll definitely use it.
