I live in europe, in a country where even possession of some larger knifes is prohibited by law. And you know what? It's one of the few things, I like about my country! ...
I want to live in a peaceful world, without guns, bazookas or even nuke bombs. I don't want to possess them and I even more do not want to use them, because if I did, people will get hurt or die and I think no single person should be entitled to judge about life or death of another person.
Often I read the argument, that people must possess guns to defend against the government. So you want to fight with your small guns against people with high end arms or even nuke bombs? Not very clever... If you want to change something about your government, change the people that give the power to the government.
I have lived in Europe and it is a relatively peaceful place, America is not. All that peace talk would not amount to much if you are being pistol whipped. I could not support a government that says I can't defend my life. I want to live in a peaceful world, without guns, bazookas or even nuke bombs. I don't want to possess them and I even more do not want to use them, because if I did, people will get hurt or die and I think no single person should be entitled to judge about life or death of another person.

The argument that we must be armed because we are obligated to replace our government, should it become corrupt, seems extreme. But our government was founded by extremists fleeing oppression by governments. So how would we fight a modern army with small arms? Well, we would bleed a lot. Just like the FSA in Syria. My whole life I have watched America get it's ass kicked by irregulars with small arms. We would win. I know how alien that is to people around the world who follow the rules because it is a rule.
