You've never talked to a single socialist, anarchist, leftist, etc. about civilian firearm ownership before? It's very commonly thought of as a necessary evil to prevent systemic oppression. Maybe don't spend so much of your time talking to trumpers and neoconservatives?

To wit: there is no "right people" to want to shoot, and anyone who thinks there is probably has their own tribalism issue to work out. Community defense specifically does not have a target right up until the point someone else is an aggressor, and ends when violence is no longer needed. This is why you never saw "antifa burns down trump supporter's house" or whatever in the news.

Your point isn't completely invalid, but it's a circular argument. Whatever the external force was, the system had the ability to complete the objective.

One could actually argue that sending a person to the moon didn't directly achieve anything for the people, so that wouldn't necessarily have been a goal by itself anyway and was a waste of resources.

Yeah, but there's a solution for that.

Are they still victims when they become violent? Or when they promote violence? At some point the threshold is crossed.

Interesting game, the only way to win is to not play.

Not really, such a thing effectively depends on the same people already in power.

Essentially, the US government is impossible to fix while regular people are so easily manipulated by propaganda and the interests of the wealthy.

You'd have to pay the anti-lobbying lobbyists to do that....
