Some people actively get mad too when you mention that people died.
"Of course people died, here we go another fucking gun grab wrapped in a sob story. If all THOSE people had guns too it'd have never happened. This is what you get for being unprepared now stfu I'm shopping online for another AR. 🤷"
Any country where you need a gun in order to feel safe walking around is a shithole.
Yeah it's kind of wild to me the number of people that think teachers having guns is a good idea, that way teachers can get into a shootout with students that go crazy. Absolutely insane.
None of those gun nuts have ever been able to answer my basic question about their stated goal of everyone carrying at all times -
You're at a public event, few hundred+ people in attendance,everybody (even just most) are packing. A gun goes off. Every "Good guy with a gun" turns toward the sound while pulling their guns. You now have 50-100+ (adjusted for crowd size) people with guns drawn. How do you know which of the 50-100+ people actually fired their gun?
Noone has ever had any answer other than "oH yOuD kNoW" which, call me crazy, doesn't really answer the question.
Does it actually make you feel safer? I think I would feel less safe every time I remember I have a gun on me because I may need to use it.
