Police State and Gun Control

Police State

A police state is a government that exercises power through the power of the police force. Originally, a police state was a state regulated by a civil administration, but since the beginning of the 20th century it has “taken on an emotional and derogatory meaning” by describing an undesirable state of living characterized by the overbearing presence of civil authorities. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police_state )

So, if the head of a nation doesn’t like the way things are going he can just say fuck democracy this is the way I want it done and then he/she transitions to dictator, and will start putting out their own rules and target who they want via ethnicity, religion, if they are pro-gun etc.

The Police State Is Coming For “Religious Extremists”, “Evangelical Christians”, “Pro-Life” Activists And “Libertarians”

The image of a police state can be seen in films such as 1984, The Hunger Games and even Star Wars, but what exactly do people mean when they say police state. The key things that pop up are constant surveillance, where even if there was a sudden vibe of something illegal or just something unethical going to happen, you will be targeted and approached by these ‘police’, which ideally takes the direct orders from the dictator/leader.

Some say that China is currently in a police state due to their orders from the fearless leader Xi Jing Ping. With all the surveillance in the country and social credit scores it is hard to not get it past what is happening.

Police State China, Police State…Everywhere

Gun Control

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation

As we know here in Australia, we have a fairly strict gun control rule compared to the rest of the world due to the events that happened in Port Arthur in 1996, which triggered a government buyback where they seized almost one third of the country’s guns. The only other countries that are on par with the level of control with Australia are China, Japan, Canada and the UK.

Many other countries have restrictions on what extent you can carry a gun, but the only two countries that do not require such rules or permits are the USA and Yemen. In the US the second amendment state “You have the right to keep and bear arms”. But if this amendment is to be repealed, it would be easier to control the people as it would be harder for them to defend themselves. Joe Biden has been very vocal about this such tactic as it may seem to be the guy to finally collapse the second amendment.
