Whether or not to ban guns and American institutional confidence

One million people marched in Washington, demanding that the government control guns. President Trump's holiday in the countryside was completely ignored. I don't think Trump will even read the petition signed by100000 people on the White House website. Whether public opinion is useful in a democratic system depends on whether it affects the election and term of office of the president. I'm afraid everything else is useless.

Almost everyone who opposes gun control or gun prohibition emphasizes that the right to hold guns is one of the civil rights endowed by the US Constitution. The reason why the Constitution wants to protect citizens' gun rights is to defend citizens' right to overthrow bad governments. Is this statement really true?

The fact is, we haven't seen any American citizens actually overthrow the government with guns. On the contrary, we are seeing more and more incidents of shooting at civilians.

The American government is elected by the people. If the president or the government is really bad, not only the parliamentary supervision and restriction, but also the voters can change people with votes. Isn't this the institutional superiority of the United States as a model of modern western democracy?

But an unavoidable logical paradox is that if the American democratic system can maintain and perform the function of supervising and correcting mistakes, ordinary people naturally have no reason to supervise the government with guns, and citizens have no reason to hold guns. On the other hand, if defending the right to hold guns means defending citizens' safety, supervising and even overthrowing the government, then this American democratic system should be the worst system of all mankind, otherwise it will not fully explain the rationality of individual citizens holding guns.

Democracy is a symbol of the superiority of modern political civilization and political system, and guns are a symbol of violence. Does this American's civil rights protection depend on the system or the gun? Does it make sense logically?

In fact, I guess Americans have never really trusted the government, the law and the democratic system, which is regarded as a model of modern political civilization. Otherwise, they would not have to rely on guns to protect their sense of security.

The real problem is cruel, and it is an undeniable fact that shooting incidents are becoming more and more frequent. This has brought real insecurity to Americans, otherwise such a large-scale demonstration would not have broken out, right?

Everything in this world has two sides. Guns can protect themselves, but they can also hurt others. If the security of a society really depends on everyone holding a gun, such a society cannot be a safe society. Although there are frequent shootings in the United States, American society is still one of the safest societies in the world. This is true, but it certainly depends on the American system rather than the right of citizens to hold guns.

If we admit that this conclusion is correct, then all the reasons for defending gun rights will be unconvincing.

Americans really should think about it. Do you believe in democracy or the gun in your hand? After thinking about it, the next step should be to make a choice.

Of course I'm a little worried. I also know that someone will take the so-called "kitchen knife real-name registration system" to dig at me soon. But what if I told you that this so-called "real-name registration system kitchen knife" is a rumor? I have lived in China for more than fifty years, stayed in no less than ten cities, and never met any farce or joke about "real-name registration system's kitchen knife". Many things on the Internet are actually rumors, but many people believe it, just as they believe that this American has the right to overthrow the government with a gun.
