@simplic10 No. I'm not competent to use weapons, by reason of physical and mental defect.
@GrumplessGrinch @simplic10 I know. Yet perception of crime is sky-high and trust is at a historic low. The whole framing is fucked up.

@GrumplessGrinch@simplic10 Like an autoimmune disease of fear is going around. People don't experience real threats so amygdala goes nuts. -
@GrumplessGrinch@simplic10 Fear antigens attack ideas that are associated-with but actually protective-of danger, like bearing arms. -
@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch@simplic10 Isn't a massively armed low-trust society (e.g. Somalia) a good example of a Moloch trap? -
@bornwithatail_@GrumplessGrinch@simplic10 There's an argument Somalia worked pretty well until European & Muslim colonialism fucked it up. -
@bornwithatail_@GrumplessGrinch@simplic10 Social order reminiscent of old Germanic/Celtic tribalism, trashed by universalism. -
@bornwithatail_@GrumplessGrinch@simplic10 Also I don't know what "Moloch trap" means. -
@bornwithatail_ I do suspect the political view from 30,000 feet often confuses reactions to damage with sources of damage.

@St_Rev@GrumplessGrinch Doesn't this make carrying a gun kind of inefficient though? Seems like first aid kit would be better choice. -
@simplic10 I think the real picture is epidemological. In a few years we'll start seeing decent statistics on the impact of widespread OC/CC -
@simplic10 Difference between 0.01% and 1% of a population armed may be very significant. -
@St_Rev Haha yeah I once argued for a Laffer Curve of gun ownership on Rationally Speaking... not popular.
