    Well, for one thing, I’m avoiding guns.

    A gun doesn’t protect you. A gun turns every conflict into a life-or-death conflict.

      Stupid people avoid guns, and they should, because they don’t know how to defend themselves with one, and offend instead. Guns were never the problem, but rather, stupid and mentally ill people using guns (it doesn’t matter if it’s right or left-leaning, as that false dichotomy is irrelevant).

        Guns were never the problem

        Places in the world that have far less gun proliferation statistically, objectively have far less gun violence per capita, and less injury and death resulting from it.

        It’s almost as if guns aren’t used to hurt people as much if they aren’t available to most of the population to use. Not sure what else to tell you.
