1,162 days ago an attempted coup by the sitting president of the United States of America culminated in a disinformed mob being directed by Donald Trump to attack the center of democracy in the free world to stop a constitutional process to try to stay in power.
It was suspected, and it was indicated by the great many who refused to enter a magnetometer (metal detector), that many in the mob carried guns. If one had been fired, they all would have come out.
In relation to guns, in our hemisphere now, Haiti proves the necessity of complete national gun control in a democracy, and so does Mexico, where criminals can take over neighborhood by neighborhood and then a whole country.
Now, in almost every country guns are exported and imported that easily reach civilian hands at all levels by any of millions of means transportation and transfer, that cannot be enforced by authorities. The future looks very violent.
A gun in hand gives one instant authority, why obey somebody else's?
It's likely true that in America, fear of people with guns getting retribution on them has already greatly affected the US government and state governments in both decisions of judges, representatives, juries, and voters who are intimidated by the new stereotype of an angry gun nut with an AR-15 and several handguns. And now a ransomware attack can hack any local government computer system that connects to the internet, and everybody's name and address who participated in any particular decision can be sold to an angry gun nut with a few thousand dollars.
