Defend yourself how? Really imagine the scenario. Someone wants you dead, so they walk up behind you and shoot you. Where is your opportunity for defense?
Indeed. I don’t imagine that’s how most deaths by gun violence occur.
I imagine most of them could be defended against by being better trained than someone looking to steal your stuff.
I may be wrong. It’s just how I feel on the balance of my current knowledge.
I will observe: no one in this thread has brought any new facts to the table, just downvotes and hypotheticals.
Most deaths by gun violence are self-inflicted. And most of the murders are gang-related.
Not owning a gun and not joining a gang are far more effective ways to prolong your life than joining in on some Old West shootout.
Fair…I have no reason to dispute you and no reason to believe you…but it sounds sensible and hence if I had to actually make the decision for real I’d look into it!
I know I sound flippant, and that’s because I am. I don’t need to choose - that choice was made for me. And I’m glad it was.
