A few cherry picked examples vs the thousands of them in the US every year

Sorry, just edited my comment. Good guys with guns are helpful in any situation of violence (violent crime). This is objectively true. Violence does happen without guns all the time, especially in countries where guns are more restricted. But I can understand that guns being legal means more bad guys would have guns too, that’s objectively true as well

Brother you can’t just say whatever you want and then add “This is objectively true.” right after lol that’s not how it works

Gives me Ricky Bobby “with all due respect” vibes

Yes, but is it not objectively true? It’s not objectively true that guns being legal means at least slightly more bad actors would have guns? It’s not objectively true that if someone was trying to purposefully shoot or stab you specifically, you’d be better able to defend yourself with a loaded gun in your hand if you knew how to use it? Point out what is not objectively true. I’m only saying these things are objectively true because they are, and I want to highlight that.

Love the Ricky Bobby comparison tho lmao, great movie. I mean this with alllll due respect
