RE: Flash visit to Utah State Capitol building - staircase, flag and weapons

in Worldmappin7 months ago

The United States Capitol is a beauty. For me, it is one of the most significant architectural works of humanity. Another aspect is its importance for Western democracy. Also, the planning of Washington DC is a work of art.

One of my wishes is to be able to travel and visit the Lincoln Memorial. The debate on the issue of bearing arms is very interesting, and it is also something that is part of the constitutional amendments in that country. It is something that, as far as I understand it, cannot be changed at the constitutional level, but it can be limited at the legal level. It's a very controversial and polarized issue, but I think the healthy thing to do is to discuss it openly.

I think people should carry guns freely, if they want to. It allows the state not to act disproportionately against individuals and guarantees the right to legitimate self-defense, whether it be of personal liberty or property. The problem is disproportionality. Especially given the violence that is currently taking place in that country.

I was in Utah, not Washington so can't comment on the state building there.

Gun discussion has always been and always will be a controversial topic, I just feel sorry for those caught up in the cross fire or those who lost their life because some lunatic went off the rails
