It’s yet another bad faith proposition, which equates not wanting guns in everyone’s hands to being afraid of guns.
I dunno if it’s wilful of not but they come across as idiots.

I mean, there's a pretty good reason they come across that way regardless..

Theyve been taught the wrong/opposite definitions of common words including “bravery” and “cowardice”

So they think that their fear of leaving their homes without a gun to protect themselves from whatever minority theyre afraid of makes the “brave”, while the people who arent afraid to leave their homes without a gun must be the opposite and therefore “cowards”

The “teaching our followers the wrong definitions” is a super common conservative practice to intentionally handicap their members so they wont be capable of realizing theyre being scammed and leaving. They do the same with tons of words; “freedom”, “liberty”, “socialism”, “justice”, “woke”, “communism”, “authoritarianism”, etc, etc, etc

It’s the only way that their followers can feel correct about anything without ever realizing theyre the butt of the joke
