There seems to be a perception among the masses worldwide that guns are how do I phrase this “toys” and not machines engineered to be as effective for whatever role they’re designed for.

It’s not that uncommon for me to see people blatantly ignoring trigger discipline, not wearing war muffs to block out the sheer sound produced by most firearms and getting themselves shot along with other douchebags in actual armed conflicts still somehow applying videogame mentality to actual weapons like snipers thinking they’re simply built to hit people from far away and not also to down heavy machinery like trucks aircraft drones tanks etc. and that’s just for how guntards use guns there’s also
>using rounds unreasonably large
>thinking suppressors stop recoil
>putting scopes on guns when the target is within walking distance
>forgetting to unload magazines when the firearm isn’t in use
>not bothering to actually clean or repair guns after they’ve been used
And this list of dumb shit keeps going. Why are so many people worldwide so awful with a tool so basic?

Answered your own question essentially; they glorify and identify with them rather than understand them as specialized tools.

I'm not interested in guns and where I live they are very restricted but if I hat to make a wild guess I'd say it's because of politics, even outside of the US.There, Guns are a wedge issue, a constant source of tragedy in news media and a staple of entertainment media(including vidya) that then gets exported worldwide.

So no wonder people build their identity around guns and infantilize them, even outside of the US we grow up consuming the second hand smoke of their culture and their psyops.

On guns in general, people will have to accept that they will be restricted once high stage socialism or communism is achieved. Yes, they are useful to fight reactionaries, but once the revolution has been cermented across the world firearms will be more dangerous than useful for a number of reasons. I know they might be fun to shoot, but the risk to other humans is too great for a recreational activity.

It is still really individualist to think guns should be kept around after they are useful. Those things can and will be used to kill others even in the least alienating society possible and banning them would barely infringe on personal freedom since it is just a hobby. Unless you are a libertarian socialist or some kind of anarchist I think it is hard to justify it.

Same with knives. The best defense is to create a high trust society where everyone doesn't want to kill each other.

>British crime rates
I live in one of the poorest towns in Britain in one of the lowest wealth brackets and am a second generation immigrant and the crime shit is a lie. Also I have no idea why you think they banned knives because they didn't. The only crimes are drunk and disorderly and drug dealing. The only way you get into knife crime is if you actively try to get into the gangs. In fact the only time I have gotten into a knife confrontation was in Mexico because I'm autistic. Trust me there is a lot you can do in a knife fight but if someone points a gun at you and wants to kill you you're dead. Mass knife attacks don't happen against adults but mass shootings do for a reason.

Knives also have uses outside of fighting and killing. They are very useful tools even if roadmen don't use them that way. Guns are only used for killing. If you want to hunt then a bow does the same thing but is 10x less dangerous and can only be used effectively by people who know what they are doing otherwise you aren't going to shoot enough arrows to be useful. Supporting firearms is such a petty individualist idea. All the points you bring up are just trying to justify why you should be allowed to keep dangerous weapons for fun despite the very real threat the presence of these weapons have to the community.

I told some retard that once. He was arguing how guns are just as bad. I then explained to this literal retard that getting shot is far worse than being stabbed for various reasons. I wonder if retards with that logic think modern soldiers should just go into combat with blades or something.

Karl Marx was pretty clear on this.
Under no pretext should the workers be disarmed.
Sorry bros, some things are open for interpretation but that one is set on stone.

For many owners, guns are a toy rather than a tool.

It's easy to get them in a lot of parts. Guns ought to require a bit of training before you're allowed to own one. But instead a mouth breather who shouldn't be trusted with a lawn mower can buy one and go hog wild with it.

It’s the same stupid reason as to why rapists and pedophiles don’t understand how sex works
Or why big tech shills don’t understand the laws of physics or science in general

ITS
ALL
ABOUT
SHITTY
EDUCATION

90% of the problems you listed with people that use guns not knowing how they work could be solved in a day if we treated firearm ownership the same as owning a drivers liscense we’re gun owners overtime are expected to study train and hold themselves accountable to the maintenance repair and responsible usage of their gun(s)(I don’t know why you’d ever need more than one or two since a single one can be a pain in the ass to manage on top of everything else in one’s life). Unfortunately this concept is otherworldly to most neoliberals that are flat out scared of guns and most reactionaries that assume they should have unfiltered access to military grade weapons for no fucking reason.
