I have put almost 30 years into shooting and am pretty good at it.
30 years!! You must be like John Wick by now!! XDXD when the apocalypse hits, im coming over there.. Ill call you "sensei" and you must train me then😂😂
Maybe someday the laws will change in your country?
Not in my life time I think. We have the weirdest and stupidest Government in the whole wide world. And my peoples are not as sensible as you are. Almost 40 % people here have little to no access to education even in this era of globalization. No one wants to arm a demographic like that. Too big of a risk of birthing out some anti authoritarian organization. Even though the government is filled with corrupt morons. So theres that.
Not quite John Wick, but getting there I guess. Lol.
Yes, I understand that many governments fear the population being armed, it makes the citizenry easier to control; More vulnerable to policy. I'm not against gun control, although feel a balance must be reached, some parameters. It's good for the government, often corrupt, to have all the guns and the population to have none though, good for the government.
Like lambs for the slaughter.
When you are at the recieving end of a gun, no amount of paper spray or taekwondo can save you.. Thats the thing, what is good for the Government isn't necessarily good for the masses. The city i live in has the highest population density in the world. Dhaka, that movie Extraction? Yeah that place. 20 million in 88 sq KM. And only 60k cops to maintain order. Now, when you are coming home late from your job with your months pay and somebody is waiting for you on the other side of the corner, what can you do?
When organized crime is so strong and on the rise, its better to be armed yourself too. I know you know that better than anyone else in this platform. And what would I not give right now to be in your shoes.
I saw that movie Extraction only a week or so ago. It puts into perspective what you say here. It makes me feel very fortunate to live here, but then even our society is changing. Maybe not as bad as yours, but change is happening. It is for that reason I maintain my skills,not just with firearms but in other areas. I am not the victimtype. It might not prevent it, but will make it more likely I can avoid it.
Well, let me give you some more context about our situation. We had a Member of parliament named Bodi. His side business is drug trade. A drug named YaBa. A cocktail of methamphetamine and caffeine that hitler used to feed his soldiers so that they do not get tired on the battlefield.
So, this guy alone provides the 90% yaba supply in our country. And his business is close to billions in worth. Lol. And he is that public figure who created job for the poor with his blood money . So everybody likes him and his popularity lets him out of any situation with the law enforcement. And he is still in power. 😑😑😑
Now, he is a known druglord but we have countless others like him who are involved in arms trade, smuggling and so on. But our government cant do anything cause these guys have friends in high places.
When most of the people here earn less then 2K yearly and these guys trade in 100s of billions with capable friends. How do we not get victimised? And most of our populous dont even know they exist, or they do know but they just dont care anymore😑. Some narcos like shit is whats going on here.
It sounds fucking hideous if you ask me. I'm glad I'm not there. I'm sorry, but I don't know how people can stand living there. It must be pretty difficult. Do you feel trapped? I think I would. People here have no clue that that goes on, and take their lives for granted. It's pathetic really, considering what you're going through.
Nah man, it doesnt matter. When you are a plankton, you cant do anything about a shark though can you.. Youll either be an ordinary bystander or a casualty of war. In any event, one cant do anything cause they are just too small to make any noise. Unless we had guns though..
Ooh boy.. We started with talking about fishing and now we're so far off. You are a great guy Galen.. Thank you for being such a good sport.
You're welcome mate. The world is small, but also so vast and unfortunately people in one place can't really understand what it's like elsewhere. I hope you get by and that you can make a difference and thrive someday.
