As far as I know, all of them - USSR, Cuba, China, Vietnam, NK etc, implement gun control. Why should their governments do that? The people of these states genuinely support(ed) socialism, if they are/were all armed they can protect socialism far better than the 1% of the population that makes up the military.

      Freedom is not forcing everyone to own a gun. Some people don't want guns for very good reasons -- mental health issues, kids around the house, etc. Therefore "why don't socialist countries put a gun in every civilian's hands?" is a ridiculous question.

      Besides, elsewhere in this thread you've been directed to examples of socialist states encouraging gun ownership or at least familiarity with guns.

        I also pointed out how socialist states had less than 3 guns per 100 ppl, most of them in the hands of the military. You're not arguing in good faith, guns weren't banned in socialist countries because of friggin menta health issues.

          These unsourced claims say literally nothing about the legality of gun ownership.

          guns weren’t banned in socialist countries

          As has been pointed out to you numerous places in this thread, you're right, guns weren't banned in many socialist countries.

          You’re not arguing in good faith

          Feel free to get the fuck out of town champ
