If only the crazies have guns, they’re going to start acting a lot crazier. Does it magically make everything safer to have your own? Obviously not. Statistically you’re more likely to shoot yourself.
But until we pass actual gun control, it’s hard to judge someone for having a gun.
I bought my first gun right after the fat dipshit won the 2016 election. I realized that there were many more hateful, violent, dumbasses here than I’d ever imagined. I lived in a very red county at the time and I didn’t think it was impossible that they might “leak” lists of registered non-Republican voters’ info along with stochastic terroristic speech like “it’d be nice if my supporters who also support the 2nd amendment could do something about these misguided people.”
I’m less worried about that now for various reasons, but we’re not completely out of the fascist woods yet. There’s a deep, festering rot and we’ve only treated symptoms. Until we address campaign finance, education funding, disinformation, and stronger market regulation and trust busting, we’re just kicking the can down the road.
Why not buy a bulletproof vest instead? Fighting fire with fire is not always the most efficient…
I remember seeing some sort of huge bulletproof blanket used by Japanese police to apprehend armed peoples. They hide behind that blanket and run towards the gunner to wrap them in it. The good side is that the gunner can be arrested alive for trial.
I don’t know if it was just a concept or of its really in use…
Play by the rules of the game you’re playing.
Not the rules of the game you want to play.
