That’s a fairly open question. I would say the YPG most certainly need their guns. The people of Cherán, Mexíco certainly needed them to liberate themselves.
On the other hand I definitely know that owning a gun makes you more likely to die by the gun. From a purely technocratic theoretical POV I would say it is obvious to ban guns, universally.
My personal politics leads me to believe that, good intentions/road to hell, taking this stance is acting out the role of the colonizer. I am open to the idea that my thinking is wrong on this, but I’ll admit you or anyone would be hard pressed to convince me otherwise. This is why I generally don’t comment on gun topics.
