"Gun ownership should be prohibited for those without a valid reason." #4

Closed

Description

@Strtg

The points for "Gun ownership should be prohibited for those without a valid reason." should add liberty instead of oppression. And I don't know why it adds militarism.

    I think the implication is that a "reason" would imply like Scandinavian countries where only members of the military have a reason to own guns. Also, hence it's not a liberty position (anyone can own anything until they are dangerous with it).

    The military one is a stretch though.

    I would add that "valid reason" can be quite vague. And people can disagree with that statement because they are more pro-gun or more anti-gun. Maybe change to something like "for most people" for less ambiguity?

    I'm sorry, but I'm not sure how prohibiting ownership of something is a "liberty" stance. I personally support gun controls, but I fully acknowledge that this somewhat impedes on personal liberties.

    Prohibiting gun ownership does not add to the Might value, it actually adds to the Peace value. The positive values on the JS file are Equality, Peace, Liberty, and Progress, which alternate sides on the results page in order to keep the colors looking good.

    Since it seems nobody else has commented on this and I don't see a problem, I'm closing this issue.
