Today’s slow-motion highlight.
MINUS TIMES MINUS EQUALS MORE. IF EVERYONE IS ARMED, NO ONE IS ARMED.Weapons create paradoxes that are hard to resolve. In a country where they’re legal, those who don’t carry one put themselves at a disadvantage against those who do. But if everyone is armed, no one dares to use theirs because they know the other person might shoot first. And yet, in a country where they’re banned, the only ones who have them are those who don’t follow the law, leaving everyone else as defenseless targets.
The theory says that arming the population creates balance, a game of deterrence where the risk of retaliation keeps guns holstered. But reality is far messier. Owning a gun, in itself, can push you to use it in situations where you otherwise never would have considered it. A misunderstanding, a pointless road rage incident, a moment of anger… and suddenly, pulling the trigger feels like an option.
If no one carries weapons, there’s no dilemma. If everyone does, the risk is always there but kept in check by mutual fear. And between these two extremes, the paradox remains: allowing guns means that those who don’t carry them are at risk, banning them means only those already outside the law will have them. So the real question is: which scenario would you rather live in?
