The invention of Gun wasn't a good idea. amirite?

You could do this for every military invention after the first caveman picked up a rock to bash someone else in

I know, but guns are easier to access than other weapons and are used more often.

Crossbows were very readily available before the creation of muskets and then guns. Before that you had javelins m

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Crossbows are powerful weapons, but they don't shoot arrows as fast as guns do bullets.they're not even close.people could still survive if they were fast and strong enough.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

People don't normally announce they're going to shoot you with a crossbow. It doesn't matter how fast it is, if you're not aware of it then it's going to kill you.

But in it's time it was. European nations tried to ban it because of how effective it was

Have you ever used or seen somebody use a bow in real life they are a lot more deadly than you think. If somebody brought one into your workplace they could drop half the staff without making a sound.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

yeah since "everyone" can use a bow... dude it's not that much easy to carry a bow around. it needs special training not everyone can use a bow. the chances of something like that happens is very lower than the same situation with guns.

I can order 1000 swords right now with no issues. If I tried buying even 10 guns, I would be investigated.

This doesn't make sense. A gun is the ultimate equalizer. A 100lb woman can now defend herself against a 300lb man when she's equipped with a firearm and knows how to use it.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

i think OP's point is that if a 300lb man wants to shoot you in the back before you have time to react it doesn't matter if the 100lb woman has a gun or not

The invention of Bow wasn't a good idea. Same principle. Replace every mention of "gun" with "bow"

by Anonymous 1 year ago

You can replace nearly anything with 'gun' or 'bow' - car, spoon, screw driver, pin, - the list is almost endless.

well I agree, but your reasoning is not great. Most women can't train to beat a man in combat for example

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Yes, but with physical training and progress in the use of cold weapons, they at least had a chance to defend themselves in some cases. But these days, when you are in front of a bullet, there is really nothing that a civilian man or woman can do.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

99% of women cannot defeat a man. Men are just naturally stronger. There are countless videos of where a woman tries to fight an equal of the opposite gender and just gets rocked. Physical weapons are a two way street. If a guy comes at you with a knife and all you have is a knife...you're probably gonna lose.

We could work on developing better countermeasures to neuter the effectiveness of guns.

So how would that work when it's the criminal with the gun?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Guns themselves aren't a problem as much as the weird gun culture that's sprung up around them. A gun can be used for sporting, self-defense, or feeding yourself, for example.

Don't bullets contaminate meat?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I'd image it depends on the type of bullet and how fast the death of the animal was

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I mean, probably, if you decided to dump 30 rounds into a squirrel for some reason. At least with deer, a well placed shot with a good rifle and the bullet just passes right through. Even bad shots do most of the time.

Before the gun rich people hired professional fighters to bully normal people into doing whatever they wanted.

Now rich people do that with guns💀

>they could improve their abilities to fight and defend themselves and it was fair i'd argue that it was very much *un*fair until the firearm came along there's probably few, if any, men my wife could take in hand to hand combat (i don't care *how* many krav maga classes she takes) but i've seen her shoot and that's why i don't worry about her out there in the world even a little

>nowadays if someone wants to kill you with a gun,they will and there's nothing you can do. No, they won't. Because they don't have a gun. Because I live in a normal country.

They don't have a gun that you know about.

Which part of what I said did you not understand?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Every part. You said in your country no one has a gun. I'm saying no one has a gun that you know about. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it doesn't exist or can't exist.

It's a force equalizer if anything.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

Life was better when people were forced to train their entire life on the longbow to the point bowmen can be identified by how their shoulder bones fused together. A a bonus they also had the job of putting down all the injured people on the battlefield.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

early guns were terrible, reloading took minutes and they were very inaccurate, one need to be very skilled to be able to use one

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I dont know why I see this opinion as totally worthless. I mean...what r u going to do? Uninvent guns? The ship has long sailed.

"It's just not fair" Yeah, because fighting was always soooo fair... Especially when men wanted to beat women in history... yep...

A knife is more deadly up close than a firearm is.

Yeah, we should've just stuck with having sword fights to settle disagreements.

>before the invention of gun,people could train and become stronger.they could improve their abilities to fight and defend themselves and it was fair You can improve your abilities with firearms as well. There are all sorts of things you can do to be better and improve your chances of coming out victorious in a gunfight. Most victims of gun violence are not gunfighters. Their chances wouldn't be much better against someone with a bow or a sword. If they're not training with contemporary weapons, it's unlikely they would be master archers or master swordsmen if guns didn't exist.
