How can i be involved in a soup of nonsense? I don't even know from where to start!
This is not the kind of discussion i'm interested into. This turned into a stupid throw of the meatball to discredit each other without any care of what each other are truly saying.
It completely uninteresting for me. XD
I feels like if i'm watching a bunch of aliens acting in an obscure way.
I... thought that Salem audience was over 12...
O.o
Edit:
Ah, yeah. I can find something to say. Is simple.
The more easy is to kill, the more easily somene will be killed.
Weapons are "everything", from a hole in the soil, to a machingun.
All you have to decide is what you like more:
More chances to kill (i have an instant kill weapon), which means more chances to get killed (he have an instant kill weapon)
or
Less chance to kill (i have only blades), which is less chances to be killed (he have only blades)
In the first one, the police can't help you, but you can help yourself. At the same time, the amount of people that could kill you instantly, is bigger.
In the second one, you can't fight a gun with a knife, but the amount of people that hold a gun are less and strictly controlled. You will probably met a guy with a knife, instead of a gun, since is Police task to prevent guns.
In both case, you will die almost certainly, since you're not the one that want to kill, so you'll be the second to shoot/stab.
So the choise is not what you want to hold in your hand, but what you want the enemy holds in his hand.
That is.
Everybody then decide what they find more suitable.
Since i would certainly die, i'll leave the task to the police and help them, lowering the chances that the enemy hold a regular gun.
To me is just the logic way to defend myself better.
To you?
It's up to your feelings.
Or, to be more incisive, it's up to How much you trust your government/police.
If you decide to defend yourself with a gun, knowing that this will grow the number of well equipped killers, it means you don't trust the police enough.
The Weapon-Not weapon topic is only a conseguence of it. (That's why it change significantly when you change country.)
