So many spiritual people do not like guns.
These people feel guns are bad. Just bad.
They are destructive, and they hurt people, they need to go away, these people chant.
Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, these people do not follow their own understanding that "What you resist, persists".
So, how do you, how can you, get rid of all the guns?
Using force fails
The biggest tragedy is that the group that wants to see guns gone, are asking the govern-cement to ban guns.
The govern-cement, who enforces all their laws through the use of guns. And who, after the public's guns are gone, decides to use their guns more indiscriminately against the public.
The gun-banning people wants this group to get rid of guns?
If the gun-banning people get the guns banned, they fail. Only the law abiding people would give up their guns. The criminals and the govern-cement will never give up their guns. The two groups that are the actual problem, are unaffected by the laws.
But what really happens is that a larger portion of the population becomes criminals. Just wanting to defend yourself, makes many choose to be non-law-abiding. And so, the po-po need more people, with more guns to try to take those guns, which makes more people afraid…
We can actually see this cycle playing out every time there is a big push for gun banning legislation. Gun sales go up every time there is talk about such legislation.
So, force results in the opposite of what these people want
Invent the Phaser/Blaster
New York had a problem with horse shit. They tried making it more expensive, they tried regulating it, they tried to fine it… What stopped the horse shit piles in New York City? Ford and his Model-T.
After the reliable, mass produced, horseless carriage was created, the number of horses in NY fell quite quickly.
No law, no govern-cement plan, could put a stop to the piles of horse feces. But, a paradigm shift made it all go away.
If i wanted to get rid of guns, i would invent a Phaser. Then, almost overnight, guns would be old junk, only suitable for collectors and men who lived in the woods.
We need a paradigm shift, either physical or mental, to end the era of guns.
It could also come about if someone created some kind of defensive system/suit that made guns mostly useless. Like personal force fields.
(yes, defensive technologies are about to take off. We see lots about robot dogs with guns on their backs, however, active defense systems could deploy the same tech, much more cheaply. And this is just the beginning. We will have fields that nullify bomb explosions)
Making Everyone Feel Safe
The actual path to what the gun-averse people want is to make everyone feel safe. (and yes, this is a feeling, not about actually being safe, although feeling safe while not actually being safe has really bad consequences)
This is more difficult than anyone would want to admit.
Some people will never feel safe. Their father/mother abused them and now they are afraid of dark corners. They live their lives managing terror. This is not something that can be fixed with outside changes. No laws will help this. But, you will often see this (general-type) of person pushing hard for more laws to control others.
The rest of the people, those who are more neuro-typical, can get to a point where they mostly feel safe, when in an environment that they know / are used to, and that environment has few dangers.
What actually effects this is the other people in the environment being known and understood. If they are familiar faces, and they have been friendly, or at least neutral, then the person can feel safe there. It is known, and the usual is that it is not dangerous.
The other piece is that a person needs to feel they have some control over their environment. And thus, in America, we have a lot of people who have guns, because it gives them a sense of control over their environment. Taking this away from them does not make them feel safer.
Another piece is to stop listening to the news. American news is sensationalized to make everyone feel unsafe. We must realize that the words we take in greatly effect us. It will be shown that people need a little bit of news (just the facts) and a lot of kitten videos to balance it out. The fear-porn may sell, but it is something we shouldn't be buying.
Overall, we would do a lot better in small groups instead of in giant cities. That and actually knowing about safety and preparing for each plausible scenario. Actually practice, and the concerns become a lot lower.
And the one thing that works really well, but anti-gun people hate, is taking a gun safety/shooting course. Just knowing what a gun is, and what it does, first hand, helps mitigate so much of the fear. I strongly suggest this, even if all you learn is how to make sure a gun is unloaded and safe.
To get rid of guns the actual best course is to give a gun to every adult. When everyone is armed, then everyone can defend themselves. And when you feel that you can defend yourself, you start to feel more safe.
And when everyone feels safe, there may be no need for guns anymore.
Trying to remove guns from someone who is using it to feel safe, does not bring more feelings of safety. It may be a crutch, but that person needs it. And you have to wait until they are ready to give it up.
And we will have to wait for the world, each person, to give up that crutch.
So, getting rid of guns is actually a very long process. It is not a short term, quick, just pass a law thing.
We can't get rid of guns by force, it never works. You need the guns to force people to give up their guns, and so, you will always have guns pointed at people. Further, people can make guns, so, even if we got rid of them all, they would still come back. This path never works.
What we really should be working on is making things actually safe. (to a point, many people need a bit of danger in their lives) And also cutting out all the things that creates fear in our lives, without there really being any danger.
