@admitsWrongIfProven @freemo @pj @thatguyoverthere @lmrocha yes it's the extreme case, both individually and collectively, that requires a gun. But if one of those cases comes up, a gun is often the only thing that will solve it.
Moreover, those extreme cases are less likely to come up if guns are available.
Switzerland doesn't get invaded for a couple of reasons. Terrain is one, armed citizenry is another.
Police stations and gun stores rarely get robbed for the same reason.

The proponents of “guns for all” cite two reasons as far as I can understand:
1️⃣ Protection from violent individuals with or without guns, and
2️⃣ Protection from a rogue government that wants to take your guns.
In the first case, the regulation of gun ownership is not an issue, while in the second it is irrelevant because you are already in the middle of a civil war and, one way or another, you’ll find or be given a gun soon.
