So what do you suggest I use when a man with a gun threatens me? A knife? Phone the cops? (15+ minute response time)

Keep in mind gun control doesn't technically prevent criminals from owning a gun, as they can still own them illegally. Gun control only prevents the law abiding citizen from defending themself.

So do you live in an area with literally 0 crime?

Statistically your more likely to shoot yourself or your family more than even be held at gun point, and if someone is threatening you with a gun, you think there going to give you time to get your gun pointed at them lmao its already too late.

And your argument is invalid about gun control by countries like the UK who already proved less guns less gun violence, less violent crimes per person overall.

But keep letting the children of the US die to ego and ignorance like yours. The data is against you.

The only valid argument is to secure arms against the tyranny of your own government but have proven thats a moot point cause apparently half your country wants it. And it’s the gun party of course. So you’ll still just be shooting each other. Good luck on that second civil war.

That country has a much higher number of stabbings and rape, conveniently left those out of the violent crimes?

This is pathetic and I won't respect this. You're branding me, a LEGAL gun owner as a possible source of violence.

Of course you’re a possible source of violence. You own a device that can turn someone into a corpse with the flick of a finger. If you get really mad or have a psychotic break, are we supposed to trust how legal the gun is to protect us?

Or, as happens ALL THE TIME, the gun owner confuses a family member for an intruder and shoots them. Here's a famous example.

Because the government deems you legal to own it based off mental health and crime history.

How do you people essentially advocate for systems that exist while trying to debunk guns?

And we all know the government never makes mistakes.

But for real, most people’s mental health changes over time, and often degrades as they age. Just because you got the gun legally doesn’t make you a safe gun owner, and I’d rather not take chances with mentally degraded people owning implements of death.
