    Impedes the rights of other to live? Like the right of criminals to live and commit crime? Like rapists to live and rape? Like murderers to live and murder?

    Criminals, armed with guns bought legally, or without a background check or stolen from a “responsible gun owner” whose idea of safe storage was in the glovebox of their car.

    Rapists, like the domestic abusers who use their legal guns to threaten and intimidate their family, like the prominent Trump support that recently tried to execute his wife in the street.

    Murderers, like the 80% of mass shooters using legal firearms or the majority of the remaining 20% using the unsecured guns of a family member.

    But don’t worry guys, in 3 out of 100 mass shootings, a good guy will kill them after they’ve only killed 3 or 4 people. That’s only slightly worse than unarmed people!

    What’s really fucked in the head is that you haven’t even realised that most people aren’t like you and don’t throb in anticipation at the idea of killing someone.

    “If you don’t want to be raped, just use your cool gun to murder them before they murder you with their cool gun, replacing one trauma with another”.

    What a shithole of a place a pro-gun utopia is.

      Unless you can grok the concept of a violent event that was prevented being significant, I don’t think you’re qualified to weigh in on the ethics of deterrence.

        It must be heartbreaking that nobody lines up to suck gun owners cocks whenever they save themselves from a problem they created.

        The rates of property crime and sexual assault in America are practically identical to other wealthy countries.

        You and your guns have done nothing to lower those numbers, but you’ve done everything you possibly could to enable hundreds of murderers and mass shooters every year.

        Your family would be safer without you and safer still in a country where you couldn’t vote.
