Sorry, let me simplify. If in our country comes to IDK electricity blackout, sure there will be a lot of problems and looting and chaos, but not much casualty. On the other hand in places where having a firearm is easier than having a driving license can be bloody. And here I talk about the machine guns and army stuff, not only handguns. I can't imagine how that would look, well to be honest even in my country what would look like I can't imagine. And it goes like a chain reaction, if someone can have a big gun then we need one to protect ourselves. I would rather have a world where no protection is needed :) Sorry, looks like I am a pacifist. But I would kill a human easily. Easier than an animal I guess. Do I need a shrink? :)

Lol, no shrink required!
You're right in some situations, civil unrest and violence can and will happen. It's happening somewhere as I type this. One only needs to watch the news each night to see that that happens...in any country.
I don't think everyone should have guns as there are some bloody wackos out there, but let me assure you, I would slaughter anyone coming into my house with evil intent and I don't need a gun to do it. I protect what's mine. Waiting for the police to arrive would not go well as their response times are too slow.
I don't think there's anything wrong with being a pacifist, if every person on the planet was that way inclined then all would be well, but that's never going to happen. Human greed, ego and hubris won't permit it. History shows that and the way things are headed we're on the downward slide to chaos.
I'm a prepared man and feel a little more confident in life for that reason. I can take care of myself and others in many varied situations and I like that I am so prepared. It's people like me who keep those less-prepared people safe.
Also, about killing humans easier than animals...Any killing takes a small part of the person doing the killing, no matter if the target is human or animal. I assume you're a strict vegetarian though, considering your aversion to killing animals? It's admirable.
Thanks for your comment.
But I like meat :) You got this one wrong. I love meat but I do realize it would be hard for me to finish that animal. Fish and smaller poultry can go but big eyes species, damn :) Yeah, I would be probably the same as you, especially with the type of fear media you are getting constantly. For many years now the media here is trying the same tactics, keep us in fear but it is a bit late for that I guess. On the other hand, a country like the USA is deep into it and protecting yourself is something that probably occurs naturally there. Here we have quite some feeling of safety... But when some robbery happened everyone are shocked. It's like "how can this happen here, to us" And people then buy an alarm or maybe a dog :) Who knows what will the future bring to us. My house will be designed to put MG42 on the top of the atrium and look down 180 to both entrances. But that is just planing in advance, the rack is for a flower pot. FOR NOW ;)
Ah ok, you're like so many others...Wants to eat the animal but not kill the animal. Let's hope the supermarket never runs out of meat though huh? You'd starve to death.
An MG42 huh? Old-school. Would probably work though. You might like to consider upgrading to a CIWS Phalanx. More fun. More effective. 😉
Naah, buying meat in the store is something leaved in the past. I have family sourced meat, organic and stuff. On the other hand there are chickens and eggs. But after all, if supermarkets runs out starving will be my last problem. People are problem. All the city folks running out and looking for loot.
If I would have a money for this CIWS I would own an island where the only firearm needed is bong :)
