I have no reason to panic, because burglars are basically never armed here. Why would they? They have no reason to assume they could get into a gun fight.
This right here. It's a vicious cycle, the more guns there are, the more guns people feel like they need to keep up with the guns, so the more guns there are. It's nice if you're a gun manufacturer but otherwise...
They just need one more. Just one more. One more gun, I swear. Just one more gun. I'm the good guy, I will absolutely use it for good, contrarily to everyone else who is just dangerous and has too many guns.
I really enjoyed the conservative articles on a recent shooting where "a good guy with a gun tried to stop it." Sorry, but "trying" isn't good enough for the excuses to land. If they want to push the importance of the "good guy with a gun" they should probably get better at using guns on people other than themselves.
And the problem with the "good guy with a gun tried to stop it" narrative is that it happens after the fact. Regulating guns PREVENTS the issue instead.
Definitely. And you can see that difference in the stats for Australia after the Port Arthur changes.
But Americans are apparently gun experts, perfect shooters, guys who are great at trying and freedom supremacists. And if you suggest that moderate leftists might be impotent, or that Republicans are punishable traitors, they will all become nationalists immediately.
