Does your stance on personal gun ownership change depending on societal structure? (hexbear.net)

For example, if you believe people living in a capitalist society should be allowed to own firearms for self defense, would that change for you under AES? Why?

Not really. I admire the competence of China's government, and that includes its strict gun control. I think it would be much more unstable if it allowed every political crank and domestic abuser to buy an AK. At the same time, I admire capitalist countries in Europe for having similar policies and also think they would become more dysfunctional if they were gun-obsessed like the US.
