US Supreme court overturns DC gun ban. John McCain declares gun ownership "sacred"

I am in favour of the right of people to bear arms and I oppose measures taken in by any government in any country to disarm people. Not because I have any respect for the US constitution as such (I am not an American and the US constitution has many flaws in it), but because I oppose the monopoly the state has on weapons/firepower and violence.

The biggest killers in human history have been states, no other entity or individual outside of the state has ever come as close to killing as many humans as have states.

There are other countries that have the right to bear arms that do not have the problems that the USA has with guns. It does have more to do with culture and the nature of US society than gun ownership in and of itself.

agree completely.

the state's source of power comes from its monopoloy on the "legitimate" use of violence

Not really in contradiction to the state being the biggest killer are they?
