I didn't respond regarding weapons and armies because, in my opinion, there are various equally effective strategies for both. The main thing is that they are implemented correctly.
In all other cases, from my point of view, everything is quite clear.
It's a pity the poll is closed; I don't want to elaborate on my opinion for each point, otherwise you wouldn't know how I voted, haha.
It’s sad that so many people are in favor of the death penalty. It makes you want to quote Loknev’s rather witty phrase on this subject once again:
Russians don’t have enough slavery, being kicked and beaten with batons in the department where they’re forced to sign bogus papers and have their kidneys taken, and being sentenced to life in prison; now they want executioners too.
For executing this, Kosha engaged with clones. Meanwhile, this is a clear example of why the opinion about depriving women of the right to vote has its reasons.
I voted for this point, ask your questions.
And I... But this is taking into account the mentality of our country specifically (for the happy residents of the Russian Federation), and not some ideal one.
If you shoot someone while defending yourself, you'll have to prove it, especially in Russia.
Judging by the first post, we're not talking about Russia right now. Along with allowing firearms, there needs to be a change in the legislation regarding self-defense... However, in any case, there will be a choice: kill the attacker and go to jail, or get killed yourself, and the attacker might even get away with it, especially in Russia....

I won't vote; I used to work with polls for a short time, so I know how much any statistics are worth.
In 1980, the city council of Kennesaw, Georgia, passed a law requiring homeowners to keep at least one firearm in their home. As a result, between 1980 and 2000, there were only three murders in the city: two with knives (in 1984 and 1987) and only one with a firearm (1997).
I read somewhere about the statistics of American police officers dying in the line of duty. 80% of those killed were simply stabbed, about 17% were shot, and the rest were various other causes.

I'm not denying that a ban on carrying weapons, if they were previously legal, will lead to an increase in crime – law-abiding citizens will hand in their guns, but criminals won't. This doesn't mean that the opposite is true. Regarding the former Soviet countries – in my opinion, the issue isn't about allowing people to carry weapons. The chaos after the collapse of the country shouldn't be much different in Russia than it was in our country. I think that if you were to draw the same graph for Russia and other former Soviet countries, you would get the same peak in crime in the 90s and a decline around 2000, which is not related to allowing people to carry weapons. And yes, regarding the crimes committed – does this refer to all crimes in general or only those that were solved? I suspect the results are different.
In general, I wasn't trying to convince anyone, and I'm not trying to now; it's a pointless exercise, as opinions rarely change. Everyone is free to stick to their own opinion, and that's how it will ultimately turn out.
