Such anarchy would resemble the “war of all against all” that Thomas Hobbes, traumatized by the English Civil War, warned against in the 17th century. To preserve the peace and a civilized society, Hobbes argued in, citizens must hand over sovereignty, and thus the right to use force, to an almighty state. Democracies today are not almighty, but they do claim a monopoly on the legitimate use of force – as do dictatorships, of course.
But then the NRA, provoked by one of those periodic panics that drive so many Americans to seek guns, switched its position to become a radical proponent of private gun ownership. And when large numbers of Americans panic, race is usually in the background.Frightful violence was unleashed by gun-toting Ku Klux Klan members beginning in the 1860s, when white southerners sought to restore the racial hierarchy upended by the end of slavery and Reconstruction in the former Confederate states.
GlobeDebate They’re not... They’re getting ready to kill each other
GlobeDebate ‘Merica
GlobeDebate Because...stupid.
GlobeDebate Back home we put all this testosterone to good use.....
GlobeDebate Because the majority of the US is made up of states that are essentially just third world countries. Rednecks, poverty and uneducated. Just look at Detroit right across the border from Windsor. There's probably only five or six states that are actually functional.
GlobeDebate Bro if the neighbors on your street are all packing the paranoia is going to get you
GlobeDebate America is still the wild wild west. That is why the Yanks rush to buy guns every time they think they might be in danger because their elected officials and the police forces they command are either incompetent or corrupt.
GlobeDebate Because looting is too common a problem during crises. ☹️
GlobeDebate Why was Trudeau and you in the MSM trying to fight the pandemic with political correctness rather than concrete policies?
GlobeDebate Are Yanks smarter than we are? Police, Army, Airforce, Navy, Spaceforce. 350 million weapons. In Canada 🇨🇦, spitballs, peashooters, sling shots& backscratchers.Only gangs have guns & ammo!
GlobeDebate They look s little CV close. Quick call the tape measure police
GlobeDebate They aren't. Don't be absurd. They're concerned about social collapse. Those concerns are likely unwarranted. But still, there they are. There's nothing wrong with wanting to defend yourself in a time of anarchy.
GlobeDebate You gotta love those Americans
GlobeDebate Clickbait
GlobeDebate He idiot liberals when people get desperate they will do anything it’s called protection ... we need fines to fight against the Trudeau dictatorship
GlobeDebate Because they know exactly where western civilization is heading in the aftermath of this pandemic. Canadians can learn from Venezuela.
GlobeDebate Cauae they are led by a maron
GlobeDebate Guns cure windmill cancer obviously
GlobeDebate Oh you know, Zombie apocalypse maybe...or Sharknado attack...any one of these make as much sense as this.
egyptia GlobeDebate Its so they can shoot and kill whoever comes to loot their homes. The U.S. is full of paranoid people who follow a huge gun culture that suggests that you need to be armed for war 'just in case' someone tries to break into your home.
GlobeDebate Why is the Globe being disingenuous? In a time of crisis, self reliance and self defense are first on people's minds. I wish more Canadians had that attitude, instead of looking toward corrupt government to solve all their problems.
GlobeDebate In Canada, your right to life, liberty & security of the person is your personal responsibility to ensure. Americans view that as sacrosanct, while Canadians tend to view their safety as the govts responsibility. Tools of freedom & independence will naturally increase in a crisis
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Because they aren't willing subjects of the government like Canadians.
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate Maybe they think the apocalypse is imminent...
GlobeDebate Who cares?!
GlobeDebate Because so far the public people seem to have more knowledge in pandemics than governments.
GlobeDebate Whoever wrote the headline didn’t read the article.
GlobeDebate They dont trust their government.
GlobeDebate Rubbish! People buy guns if they have doubts that police will be in a position to respond. Fascist power grabs fuel distrust in the government. Americans are dealing with the Coronavirus by staying home and shopping online.
GlobeDebate Well when prisoners are being let out for Covid 19 safety and gun shops are being closed because they’re not considered essential...
GlobeDebate What a rediculous click bait headline.
GlobeDebate Because they are stupids.
GlobeDebate Why do you have to be so underhandedly critical of Americans, all the time? Even a brain dead liberal understands that people buying guns today, are the ones who a few weeks ago, were trying to get them all banned. You're being deliberately obtuse.
GlobeDebate Something about tyrannical governments, food and looters I reckon.
GlobeDebate Cuz they've seen the movies and they need to guard their toilet paper at all costs.
GlobeDebate Maybe coz certain segments of the population are openly saying, on social media, that they are going to invade these people's homes and take their supplies?
GlobeDebate Shoot COVID19 virus 🦠 to death?
GlobeDebate Because Americans for the most part are morons. They can't add that more guns equal more deaths. When more than half the country is educated by FOX NEWS, this is the result. But hey, let's blame the email lady for what's wrong and the token black president.
GlobeDebate Guns and religion. Almost like those 2 things could get an idiot elected.
GlobeDebate Check firarms sales in Canada you will see a huge increase. Instead you want to focus on the US all the time.
GlobeDebate When all the free stuff for the illegals stop, They're going to need them.
GlobeDebate Because actions speak louder than words to them
GlobeDebate Because they are stupid.
GlobeDebate Because they can Given the very blatant incompetence of North American governments in dealing with a global pandemic it’s not surprising that sales are up not only in the US but in Canada as well up until the shutdown Guns are protection Only fools think they don’t need any
GlobeDebate Simpson’s did it. Wiggum fought off the Osaka Flu years ago.
GlobeDebate Inbreeding?
GlobeDebate Lol, what don't they try to fight with guns? Guns, explosions, bombs, missiles, everything in life is like a Hollywood action movie to some Americans. Kindness and compassion, on the other hand, right over their heads.
GlobeDebate Why, it is to shoot the virus. What a silly question
GlobeDebate They are preparing for the end game. This is pretty obvious no?
GlobeDebate Because when the s*** hits the fan is good to have one
GlobeDebate They aren't fight the virus they are getting ready to go shopping for toilet paper.
GlobeDebate Really that's what u think 🤔
GlobeDebate
GlobeDebate How ironically funny!
GlobeDebate Because it is easier for the simple minded to fear a tangible enemy like the neighbour next door, than an invisible creature like a virus that can't be shot or beaten with a baseball bat.
GlobeDebate This a rhetorical question?
GlobeDebate Come on, you know why!
GlobeDebate Don't worry Globalist Mail, it's over your head.
