Blaise de Montluc — French marshal and warrior, 16th century:"Would that it had pleased God that that accursed instrument had never been invented: I should not bear the marks of it; and many brave and valiant men would not have been killed by poltroons (gun users) who shoot from a distance those they would not dare to face in fair combat." Chevalier Bayard (Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard) — the famed French knight "without fear or reproach," early 16th century:"It is a shame that a brave man should be exposed to be killed by a miserable friquenelle."Leonhard Fronsperger — German soldier and captain of the ducal armoury in Munich, in his Kriegsbuch (1573):"It is very often the case that a manly and brave hero is brought down by a pathetic little brat with a gun." He called gunpowder "horrible" and "unmanly," and compared its advent to a plague sent by God .Lodovico Ariosto — Italian poet, in Orlando Furioso (1516), addressing the gun directly:"Through thee is martial glory lost, through thee / The trade of arms becomes a worthless art: And at such ebb are worth and chivalry / That the base often plays the better part." In the poem, the knight Orlando throws a handgun into the sea, calling it:"O cursed, abominable device, constructed by the fiend Beelzebub in the forge of Hades... back to hell from whence you came I consign you." During the Italian Wars (roughly 1494–1559), captured gunners faced "indiscriminate killing" and maiming after battle at rates notably higher than other soldiers. Historians attribute this directly to the "hostility and fear their weapons caused" and contempt for the gunner's commoner status—this wasn't a formal policy, but it was a recognized pattern of brutality ./pol/troons seething
tl:dr
>>546051255okay cool, but if your enemy is a coward with them what do you stop them with? A knife? lolyou're a retard.
>>546051255If only we could go back to a time when the bow was considered a cowards weapon, but alas, it is not possible.

In some ways guns are more effective political tools than they are weapons.The nonstop seething that even the notion of civilian gun ownership causes in those who think themselves rulers reveals perhaps better than anything else the contempt they have for their fellow man.
shitskins prefer guns over sword duels
>>546051255>During the Italian Wars (roughly 1494–1559), captured gunners faced "indiscriminate killing" and maiming after battle at rates notably higher than other soldiers.Guns were just the drones of the day.

This fight was lost a long time ago, you're not going to defend yourself from a tyrannical government or some faggot on the street with a gun with a knife. There's a saying, "don't bring a knife to a gun fight".

I agree with this sentiment. Any fat fuck becomes a tough guy when he’s handed a revolver and any weakling becomes strong when he can hide behind his AR-15. No real effort. Just push a trigger.

>>546051255If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.Last fight I was in I kicked the dude in the balls and tried to bite his nose off.
>>546051255Ok that's great, go tell that to a cop
>>546051255They are correct, but America is culturally dominant, has not even the faintest vestige of chivalric culture, and is full of fat and unsightly people who can't even imagine swinging a sword. Martial glory is long gone.
>>546056122And *who* is trying to subvert the virtue of martial honor?
>>546051255>Noooooo! You have to fight in a specific way that gives me the advantage The great thing about firearms is they greatly level the playing field compared to fighting unarmed or with melee weapons. A 250lbs MMA fighter can be killed by a 120lbs woman with as pistol. Ideally everyone should be armed at all times and society would be much safer.
>>546056122Great, the nigger breaking into my house nor the cop enforcing tyranny care about honor.They do care about me having a shotgun or a rifle instead
>>546056237I'd argue that it's American (and to some extent Canadian) cultural influence. They've never had a "martial culture" -- and the closest they came was in the Old West, with pioneers, gunslingers, and scalp-collectors. The gun, which is the death of martial honor, has always been one of America's holiest totems. The real answer lies in the fact that American society is a society without honor -- and without dignity as well, incidentally. Indeed, if I imagine myself saying, "We are society without honor," to someone in real life I just imagine them laughing or rolling their eyes and saying, "Yeah, right. What am I? A knight in shining armour? Get real." And "If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck."

>>546055436that would imply a man robbing the bank would take the world. how the fuck do you rob a bank with gun though?
>>546051255The english long bow and the crossbow were also decried by the church as they enabled a peasant to dispatch an armored knight. Meanwhile these knights saw no issue with catapults and corpse ammo and ravaging a city when they took it.
>>546051255I don't listen to old dead white men.
>>546051355small little knives > swords like bringing a sniper rifle to a bomb fight
