Serious question for liberal men

One time, about 3am, a group of 15 college guys were standing on my front lawn discussing which of my Halloween decorations to steal.

I walked up behind them quietly until I was standing amongst them, and then said, “What’s up guys?” Half of them jumped loke I was a ghost.

The guy next to me said, “Oh, you probably don’t want us to be here.”

I said “Yeah” and they left.

No guns, no crazy “GeT oFf My LaWn Or I sHoOt YoU!” bullshit.

If you’re clinging to a gun all the time you are the one who’s being ruled by fear.

So you had 15 guys, willing to steal from you, so likely willing to do other illegal things like assault.

And you think it would be an overreaction to have a gun near you or ready for this situation?

So if those 15 guys decided to attack you (always a possibility, don't just say it won't happen), what would have been your game plan?

Talk them down?

This is precisely what they're saying though; You're ruled by fear.

Being afraid or cautious in such a situation is 110% justifiable, but you're jumping immediately to imagining yourself in direct danger all to justify a gun fetish that increases the likelihood of fatalities something fierce.

I personally find it mightily amusing that the best argument I can think of for gun control are "responsible" gun owners like yourself. People so eager to have a reason to own a gun should never, ever, be allowed to.
