    Your perspective is incredibly narrow.

    Must be nice to never have to worry about defending yourself from attackers who overpower you or who have weapons.

    Definitely all those black people with guns facing down the racists with guns at the Tulsa Race Massacre should've been brave and fought fisticuffs, 21st century style. /S (Yes I'm well aware their homes and businesses were burned to the ground despite attempts to defend themselves).

    The Black Panthers were just cowards. /S

    The trans folks at Tenacious Unicorn Ranch definitely were cowards for not facing bigots threatening to kill them with fists and harsh words. /S

      As someone who lives outside of the US: it is nice. You guys should try it.

      I've literally only ever seen a gun take a life that didn't deserve it. How many home invaders have you personally staved off? You know this isn't 1921 anymore, right?

      The gun culture in this country is toxic and you're part of the problem spreading that bs to justify your own peace of mind. I'm sure you only need Jesus and your ar-15 to survive but the rest of us would like to go to the grocery store without worrying about the place being shot up by some nut job that picked up a rifle at the corner shop on a whim.
