No we didn't, because we have stricter gun regulation laws in place. Similarly, policemen are forbidden to use their guns unless under extreme duress (that's why they also have alternatives and non-lethal weapons). Every time a policeman's gun is used, it has to be justified. Reports have to be written.

My country had several revolutions and near dictators, often supported by militias and the military. Cops have been guilty of killing and beating protesters in the past. In a city down South last month, an entire unit of cops was dismantled because they were blackmailing civilians. And yet we're trying to make it work, as a society. That doesn't mean we don't demonstrate when we're unhappy (and we do that a lot), but peacefully, on both sides.
Today we believe in a democracy and a republic that can be sustained without a mutual violent coercion, without anger. We seek appeasement. It's not easy, but we'll get there someday.

Okay--that's fine. But you have to understand that the US is in a different situation. The very people I don't like having weapons are those least likely to obey the federal Bureau of Alcohol and Firearms when they say to please get rid of the guns. We have millions of guns here already, and you can't really close pandora's box. If we were somehow starting civilization anew I'd agree with you.

I can't speak to your country because you haven't said which it is, but I'd be worried about a country whose cops have killed and beaten protesters that is really adamant about disarming potential protesters.

We have a huge legacy of public protests and demonstrations. Violence, on any side, never serves any cause.
We know that intelligence agencies infiltrate demonstrations. Sometimes they disguise themselves as protesters to start trouble and lay the blame on the whole movement. I've seen it. I've been in marches since I was 15. Only extremists use violence. If the police is violent and the protesters aren't? They will be blamed by the public, not the protesters.

That's why unions have developed extra-tight security during marches. Weaponless security. They notice people who look like they're just here to fight and just take them out of the march or tell them off. A peaceful, massive march is much more efficient in terms of political gain than direct violent confrontation, this, we've had to learn.

I understand that changing the US as a society is extremely complicated. And yet, the status quo cannot remain unchanged forever. I hope you (the collective you) can find an answer.
