  • Or is the issue that people don’t believe “gun” is a valid method of self defense due to the level of damage it so easily inflicts?

    A lot of the comments in here make me think these people would be happier if this guy would have pulled a knife and stabbed the prankster vs doing the safer thing for them and just backing away and shooting. If this had happened to a woman I feel like all these comments would be commending her for defending herself but because it’s a male they think he should have invited him to a boxing ring to settle it like gentleman.

    The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.

    Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.

    Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.

    Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.
