On the real though, I think that people who feel defenseless without a gun (yes I know you didn't exactly say that, bat) are huge pussies who probably couldn't even defend themselves with a gun if they needed to.

what about restricting your ability to die in a shooting

Does it not make you feel at least a little like a government ward that your safety is dependent on people who are legally not required to protect you but only to investigate your death after the fact?

I don't have a gun and I don't mind relying on the police, and I don't disagree with gun regulations, but the idea that my own safety should be farmed out still reeks of 1st world complacency that is only possible so long as Western civilization remains stable. It's a mentality that is allowed to exist because it can be allowed to exist rather than what would be reasonable in any other time and place in history. TBH it's perfectly reasonable that people would be slow to adjust.

The only person a real American would want to rely on is the good guy with a gun.

I'm certainly not saying there's nothing irrational about my feelings as they are in fact feelings, but in a vacuum I'd very much like the option of mounting an MG-42 on my roof to repel Allied invasions.

Just pretend this is the Rio Grande.

Elph wouldn't know the real left unless they interrupted his yoga.
