People i grew up around have three different markers for financial stability: the option to buy a game console/pc, a new car, and a gun. Its a culture, and it has been the culture.

There was a time when guns had a similar position in English society, granted it wasn't a games console, a car and a gun, it would probably have been something like a house, a housewife and a gun but the culture was there. It was significant enough for George Orwell to state; "That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.” That culture has been virtually destroyed in the UK and it can probably be destroyed in the US as well, as it has almost been in other English speaking states built upon 'common law' like Canada and New Zealand.

As a born and raised cuckservative turned socialist for the last 6ish years of 32 years of life, I 100% agree with EVERYTHING Vaush said in this rant. I started shooting guns at the age of 8, for real. I literally grew up with guns and my entire family, including my grandmother, owns guns. I grew up in the Mid West and EVERY SINGLE HOUSE that I ever went to, whether it be friends, family, or other had guns somewhere in the house. Seriously not kidding in the slightest. Seriously not an over exaggeration. Guns are EVERYWHERE in the US. Therefore Vaush is right, it is physically impossible to remove them without all out bloody warfare. It's literally just the cold hard truth in the US. That all being said, arm yourselves comrades. The fascists are armed to the teeth and will not hesitate in the slightest to pull the trigger on you after their coup is successful. They have been brainwashed beyond help and they will never change. You are their enemy and they have guns. 10 years ago I wouldn't dream of saying this but the next trump is coming and this one will most likely be smarter than the last one... never EVER underestimate the Reich-wing. It WILL be THAT bad because it has ALWAYS been THAT bad when the far-right takes over!

Heavy handed maybe but logical. Having your safe embedded within a load bearing wall in a locked room is as secure as your guns can get. Theft seems to be down as well.

Most gun violence is exacerbated by either poverty or poor mental health awareness.

Guns are tools, and getting rid of the tool doesn't change the underlying problems.

If you're looking into guns for the sake of aesthetic appeal and art, I strongly suggest looking up do-it-yourself kits for muzzle loaders and black powder weapons. They aren't super practical as far as guns go, but they often come in disassembled kits that allow you to stain in the wood and assemble the weapon from the smallest component upward. As far as shooting goes, tyese are more or less recreational guns, and there is a lot of catharsis in the time and precision it takes to load them. They also make great display pieces, and the fact that you can assemble them yourself means that you can leave you can leave out actionable components that would make them firing weapons. Also, they tend to be less expensive than assembled weapons. Just something to think of for hobbyists. Also, lever action guns are great ranch rifles; an AR is a perfect varmint/ranch rifle these days, but lever actions serve that purpose more than adequately (varmint killing, stock protection, and a snake gun). They are severely out of date, but they still have a wide range of real world functionality.

As someone who is originally from Japan and immigrated to the US when I was in my teens, I find the whole "America has too many guns so we can't ban it." argument defeatist. I agree that we probably shouldn't ban guns and banning guns isn't going solve the problems found in the US. But the issue is that these types of arguments further make it seem like other reforms aren't possible. I wish more people would argue from the perspective of "We can't ban guns but we do need to take proactive steps to reduce firearms because more availability does increase firearms deaths." The car example that people often use is a poor attempt at a gotcha too. I also think we should drastically reduce the number of cars and increase public transportation access and more densely built cities in the US. I'm not a liberal. I just think this weird attachment to guns that many Americans have and the attempt to downplay the solutions to reduce firearms. We can do it and it would be effective. Americans just lack the political will.

So I'm just going to respond to every claim being made here one by one a single long comment. There is a widely observed causal link between the availability of firearms and the rates of successful firearms deaths, specifically in regards to suicides but also in regards to other forms of deaths such as homicides and accidental deaths. The number of deaths also scales with the number of firearms kept at home. There was a study done in examining firearms availability and firearms deaths specifically for Australia after the Australian gun buyback program also known as AFA, which is still the largest and most widely studied gun buyback program in the developed world that found that successful suicides by firearms went down by nearly 80% and did not increase suicides through other methods when the AFA was established. The same results have been replicated in different states in the US, albeit on a smaller scale. In general, this suggests that reducing firearms availability will also reduce firearms deaths significantly without increasing deaths in other ways. And even when there are increases with other methods, the increase isn't one-to-one because other methods of suicide are far less successful than guns. Same with cars. If you have fewer cars in an area, you will have fewer car deaths without increasing deaths in other ways. I think that we not only have enough political capital, but we also have enough political capital and political support based on the polls for effective gun reforms in the US. The argument that political will is a zero-sum game is true to some degree but in this case, I would say we have the support of the general population. It's just a few effective lobbying groups that are extremely effective at getting in the way of getting anything done, hence the lack of political will. Moreover, I think oftentimes when people use this argument, they are post hoc justifying the status quo. Of course, you might not be so it's not fair to say that about you but that's just been my general experience when talking to very pro-gun Americans. Legislations absolutely can and will affect the general culture in any country. Not the same but when the Japanese government became strict with who and who can't own katanas, there were pretty large-scale pushbacks for decades but eventually, the culture has shifted to the point that people don't widely own katanas anymore in Japan. The reason why Europeans and immigrants like myself tend to be more anti-gun is That I know what kind of negative effects in terms of deaths and culture that it promotes and how the American gun culture, in particular, is toxic. (Again, I say this as someone who considers myself to be American but is much more familiar with the outside world than the average American) I don't think that reducing the number of firearms or reducing firearms availability will be easy. But I strongly disagree with the notion that it's impossible, politically unviable, or not worth it. It is absolutely worth it and it can be done.

The lack of political will and the culture of the society are, in reality, huge things that would need consideration when making a policy decision. It's not a step that you can skip. Like vaush said, it would probably be more effective to work on things like mental health and changing the gun culture, and I agree. (I also think there are other policies we should require, but just speaking on these things for now). Not only do I agree because those things have value on their own that have the potential to decrease problems, but they play a critical part in changing our country in the ways that would be needed if we were to ever introduce sweeping gun reform in this country. If we don't have some of those underlying changes, the idea that we are going to be able to successfully make sweeping moves at removing guns is a total joke. No disrespect, but just making some assumptions based on how you described yourself, I am guessing that you and I probably do not have the same cultural backgrounds, even just when looking at our experiences just in the US. I mean, we're both United States citizens/residents (don't know your exact status), but there are still huge differences in culture around the country. I come from a part of the country where gun culture is big. A place where I can assure you, there would be significant bloodshed or broad regional strife if sweeping gun confiscation/restriction laws were to come into play. It would totally wreck the politics of my area, and would probably drive neighbors to be at eachother's throats in the turmoil. I'm not kidding. School politics, city politics, county politics, state politics, and even national politics through my state's representatives would turn nasty very quickly. I would seriously probably have to consider moving out of fear of the impending disaster and how far south things would go. Even if not violence, the political activism and radicalization that it would inspire in my area would doom my area's politics to shit for a couple decades. I can understand how that would seem silly to someone who isn't from a culture like this, and I'm not saying it's a good thing. I would love to live in a country with a gun culture more similar to... I dunno, plenty of other countries around the world, whether it be Japan, or Switzerland, or Canada, or whatever. But the point is, the USA isn't that, and that's not something that you can just brush off. The differences do matter. Not all countries and situations are the same. If you want to make the changes you're suggesting, you're going to have to play the long game and ensure that a lot of the underlying more subtle factors in each society end up lining up, because if they don't, you're just going to create a shitstorm.

@@DQABlack Of course, the lack of political will, or more specifically, how much can we push within the realm of the Overton window has to be considered when crafting a viable policy. That is not the disagreement that we are having. In the United States, the restriction of firearms and the policy surrounding it is becoming more and more popular over time among Americans who are gun owners or otherwise. This is an indication that the culture surrounding firearms is slowly and steadily changing over time. So I am considering the political will in the public when I push for certain policies regarding guns. The lack of political will more derives from select lobbying groups such as the NRA as opposed to the majority of the public and these select groups, despite being small relative to the public have a vast influence in our governance. The vast majority in the lack of political will derives not from the public but from groups that are often single-issue focused and if we do agree that various portions of American gun culture are toxic and that statistically, reducing the firearms will lead to positive results then, of course, we should fight for that just as hard as the NRA fight for the opposite, if not harder. Secondly, as socialists, we recognize that we advocate for is an extended multigenerational project. The fruits of our advocacy may never even come. But we slowly push towards that direction over time because we recognize that one, that ultimate goal is worth and the incremental changes in our attitudes, policies, and culture will yield positive results over time. If we were to stop pushing for things because we deemed it culturally unpopular or unviable, then the left would never get anything done, radical or incrementally. This is why even if gun reforms were unpopular (which again, it's not for the vast majority of Americans) we should push for it slowly anyway and get incremental changes in the status quo over time. This is why Vaush's insistence on gun reforms being "liberal" seems bizarre to me. Because in this case, he is the one arguing to keep the status quo rather than make changes that would yield better results even in the incremental sense. If I applied this logic to anything else, it would make me sound like a conservative. For instance, America is one of the worst countries in the world for public transport and walkability. It's so bad in fact, changing such a thing is going to be deeply unpopular, expensive, and will require massive cultural changes to occur in the US. As someone well-versed in the politics of urban development, (as that is what I studied in university) I know that it will be a multigenerational project that will ultimately require us to change the culture in the US and may not ever come to fruition at least relative to other countries such as Japan or France but I (and Vaush) would probably still push for it anyway. Similarly, the same thing can be said about things like unions in the US. Compared to countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland, which have a unionization rate of 70-90%, America has a unionization rate of 10-11%. American culture as it currently stands is deeply allergic to unionization. But again, as lefties, we would push for America to catch up and even surpass Europe eventually fully knowing that that day may never arrive in this country. But just as with guns or urban development, it is a goal worth pursuing we would not take a defeatist attitude towards changing the status quo. I will give a final example from my life as well. As I said previously, I was born and raised in Japan. However, my family is from Bangladesh originally. Which means that I am not ethnically Japanese. My whole life, I've pushed for minority rights in Japan fully knowing that the Japanese culture was deeply xenophobic, racist, and even unwilling to accept me as Japanese. I've been told countless times by both Japanese people and people outside of Japan that pushing for such a thing in Japan is unviable. I've argued with actual leftists that racism is part of Japanese culture and pushing to get rid of that is impossible but I pushed for it anyway. Today, Japan is at a much better spot culturally than it was in the 90s when I was born. Better representation of minorities in Japan has increased over time. Support for immigration increased over time to the point that even the right-wing parties in Japan now support immigration. Fewer people today will fail to recognize someone's Japaneseness simply because of their ethnicity and that is something that we have managed to accomplish in a relatively short amount time and at one point, I believed would be impossible and were told constantly would be impossible. Don't get me wrong. Japan as a country is still very racist and a lot of work has to be done for Japan to be more accepting but there are considerable improvements and cultural pushes towards more acceptance of minorities in Japan as a result of pushing something unpopular but positive and necessary. I recognize that guns are a crucial component of certain cultures within America, and again, changing such a culture is going to be difficult, and will feel hopeless. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it and refusing to push for change when people know that statistically, it will lead to better results isn't being practical, it's being defeatist and it might be a behavior I would excuse from liberals but from people who self-describe themselves as socialists. I gave up my Japanese citizenship for America. Because I fully recognize America as my home. So when my fellow Americans act defeatist towards this goal, it is disappointing especially for a country that overcame slavery, segregation, and other massive feats.

important note on swiss gun ownership: everyone who owns a gun has been psychiatrically evaluated, if they have their gun from the military they have been evaluated by psychiatrists there, if they want to buy a gun anywhere else they need to get a permit, for which you need to be evaluated as well. oh, and because most people who have a gun got it from the military they have been trained on guns and especially gun safety. in switzerland, giving loaded firearms to a child is frowned upon, while in the US they're part of the parliament. switzerland has the law of "the gun and the ammo have to be behind 2 locks (one of which being the front door usually), and the second lock has to be diffent for the ammo and the gun". if you wanna move (home), you have to get a permit so you're allowed to transport your gun outside your house. having your gun on you outside your house, open or concealed, is illegal unless you're specifically transporting it for use at a firing range. Sorry but i'm pretty sure even the most lax gun laws in the US are less strict than switzerland.

I agree with wanting to remove firearms, but to ignore Vaush's points about how integral guns are to not only the reds here but just the overall general populace. Even in the state he and I share people are still fairly pro-gun. A long term process to remove them in such a concentration will only make the federal government look bad and they'll just be redistributed somewhere else. Again a longterm plan would be nice but a focus on better social policies and improving general life quality would be a much better use of time and strong deterrent to missuse weapons.

I don't love the idea of disqualifying people from gun rights if they're mentally ill. People with dangerous mental illnesses shouldn't own guns, but they also shouldn't avoid seeking treatment in order to keep their gun rights. My ideal solution would be if only mental health treatment you didn't seek out yourself disqualified you from gun rights. If they 5150 you and it isn't for things you voluntarily said to a therapist, you're a danger to society and aren't trying to fix it and you shouldn't have guns. But if you seek treatment voluntarily, you shouldn't be punished for making the right decision.

Home defense and defending your *community* from *right wing militias* (which is what he actually said) are two completely different situations. You are engaging in cringemanning right now.

Friend, how are any of those arguments contradictory? Firearms are statistically not the best home defense weapon for MOST people for a variety of reasons. High firearm ownership is also generally useful at “fighting the government”, see insurgencies in countries with faaaar lower civilian firearm ownership. In the far future, communal armories could be a useful way to diffuse some of the negatives of people having firearms in their homes while maintaining the benefits of owning firearms.

I don't know if the availability of guns would have a meaningful impact on mass shooting statistics. That's a good question. I do think giving kids unrestricted access to their own guns is a bad idea. Like the shooting in Michigan by that 15 year old or whatever might not have happened if his parents didn't get him a handgun for his birthday.

The problem I have with Vaush speaking about guns is that while he uses data, you can tell he is relatively emotionally charged about it due to his excitement behind guns. As well as his willingness to end the risks of having guns in regards to deaths and ignoring the numbers of abuse that people suffer from them in the home--whilst having a take that reactionaries share wherein he believes it to be a mental health issue. I respect Vaush and I love the guy, but it's kind of another blind spot he has.

Reactionaries use mental health as a deflection while doing nothing about it. Vaush actually does talk about mental health. And the mental health angle is borne out by statistics - gun violence in the US has been spiking over time, but gun ownership hasn’t changed all that much over the same period.

I understand that removing guns from the us is impossible. But what about requiring a licence to buy/own one? You'd need to pass a background check and prove you know and adhere to gun safety standards. Just like a driver's license. Also some gun regulations like needing to keep guns in gun safes and outside the reach of children can decrease accidental shootings by children. You could grandfather in the current gunowners if you had to.

When the UK government banned pistols in 1997, what they actually banned was short, cartridge firearms. The way around that was to developed what are called 'long barrelled pistols' and 'long barrelled revolvers' and muzzle-loading pistols that are modified versions of modern revolvers. Imo, the long barrelled revolvers are the least stupid option because generally what you've got is a revolver usually a Taurus with a 12" barrel and a bit of wire sticking out the butt. Muzzleloaders are fun but not practical really.

The culture around guns is the main problem, but the idea we don't need a better stronger system of regulation than we have now is silly. Better and stronger doesn't mean iron fisted and ironclad esspecially when the bar is so low. Basic gun registration, stronger enforcement on gunshow and p2p sales, a more thorough background check and the nordic way of contacting associates or friends and family to get basic info of if this person should own a weapon.

If you're interested, shoot me a pm and we can go through a FFL transfer. Keep in mind that a vepr is going to run you alot more $$ than a Ruger mini 14 due to the build quality and rarity.
