Every reasonable person agrees with me. It’s obvious. Would you ever write a unit test to assert true is true? Sometimes you can just look at the problem and the right answer is so clear that everyone knows it


> Every reasonable person agrees with me.

It's exactly the opposite - you're spending too much time in the violent-ideology bubble.

Most of the world is law-abiding, avoids violence, and calls the police. Until recently in the US it was almost universal, afaik, that self-defense was the limit of legal violence, and you had a 'duty to retreat' if violence could be avoided. Only recently has the right wing passed 'castle doctrine' laws there. In other countries, people don't buy guns with the idea of meeting violence with violence; in the US, at least until recently, most people didn't have guns.


But there is already violence, since people turned on this device.


What device?

I didn't say violence didn't exist; I said the vast majority of people are opposed to it as a solution to problems.
