There is no good reason to keep a gun at home or on your person, aside from in very narrow and incredibly controlled purposes


So self defense isn't a good reason?


Genuinely no, if some is attacking you then a gun is more likely to get you killed, giving them what they want will keep you alive, if they want you dead, then a gun will not save you as they will have shot/stabbed you before you know and can get your gun.

As for home defence, you are much more likely to be killed by it, than save your life with it


Yeah, this is a terrible argument.

First of all, I'm not giving someone my shit. They're going to have to fight me for it. Do you tell a person whose being raped that they should just lie back and take it too? Secondly, if they want me dead then I absofuckinglutely want a gun. At least then I have a chance. I don't know why you think I wouldn't be able to get to it.

And no, I'm not much more likely to get killed by my gun than saved by it. Statistics are incredibly disingenuous on this.

First of all, I'm not gonna shoot myself. So suicide, which is where most of this comes from, is off the table.

Secondly, I'm not stupid and I don't have kids. So having a gun for myself makes sense. Not only do I like to protect myself like I have the god damn right to. I like shooting. It's fun. And No, I'm not gonna pay 1000 bucks for a gun to let someone keep it in their garage.

this.

gun or not, i'm fighting the dude who's trying to jack my shit.

Given people used to bring their guns to school in their trucks just a few decades ago, and mass shootings going on the rise is fairly recent. I think its safe to say such shooting are a symptom of something wrong in our country rather the a disease in and of itself.

Also any law that punishes 100% of citizens for the actions of less the 1% of the population is a bad and unjust law.

it's because mental illness is on the rise and there is not very much support for people with mental illness

not sure.

And that's the part of the mass shooting epidemic that we as a society have to get to the bottom of but nobody seems to want to critically evaluate what's happening

I think the cops are withholding some information. you are right. there is definitely more to this story. the stated facts make no sense and they expect us to just not use our brains and accept the story
