@flexghost , this isn't popular in many circles, but when they started attacking trans rights, I advocated that every trans person buy a gun. I still advocate this. I advocate this for every minority. For every homeless person, for every woman, immigrant, etc. And I advocate banning guns in the hands of conservative men, or any government employee that is not highly trained. In other words, not beat cops.
@not2b @flexghost , this is true. But they also create a polite society. If people understand that impolite acts can be their last, then the cost is worth it, when facing what is similar to Nazi Germany. I would happily arm every Jew, every Gypsy, every homosexual in 1930s Germany, even knowing that this would cause more deaths among those populations, due to self-inflicted violence.
@JonKramer @flexghost The main things that guns do is kill the intimate partners of gun owners. An angry dispute that might have been an argument or a slap turns into someone being shot.
