(As a general concept of how a society should run, not intended as a US-specific question.)

I sometimes see people on the internet saying that giving people easy access to guns is too risky and there should be stricter gun control, while simultaneously wanting to abolish the police? I’m just confused on what people really want?

You cant both abolish the police and then also disarm the citizens, gotta pick one. So which is it, internet? Self-policing with guns? Or reform the police?

(Also its funny how the far-right of the US is both pro-gun and pro-police, I’m confused by that as well)

        I am aware of that, but this comment chain started with the context of it being a right.

            This entire comment chain started with your comment that began with it as a right and the US has not been mentioned once.

            I think the right to have a gun should also include the legal requirement to take and pass a tactical shoot course.

            Sorry for engaging with your premise!
