Two men stood in front of the autonomous vehicle, operated by ride-hailing company Waymo, and literally tipped a fedora at her while she told them to move out of the way.
Please define “take advantage of” in your comment. The entirety of my comments here have been in a self defense context. I don’t see how my owning and carrying a gun means I’m “taking advantage of” anyone.
Uh, no. There are quite a lot of laws governing when deadly force is allowed which vary by country and state. I’m quite sure none of them allow it when someone “bothers you”.
“Property is more valuable than human lives.”
A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…
“The strong should be allowed to do whatever they want to the weak” A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…
You’re the one touting strength through arms here…
And without one, the stronger will always prevail over the weak. I can’t believe I need to spell this out.
Who is “the stronger” in a situation where you have a gun and someone else does not?
Me.
And my wife, and daughter. People that, without the use of arms, will always be the weaker given it’s usually men who commit these crimes.
You’re missing the point - this tool takes physical strength out of the equation for self defense purposes and you’re acting like it’s a bad thing.
Ah, so what you mean is that it’s okay for the strong to take advantage of the weak when you’re the strong one.

Interesting how you want me to define terms but haven’t defined them yourself.
You haven’t defined “the strong” or “the weak” or what you mean by “self-defense.”
Maybe start defining your terms first before you demand it of others.
You’re talking about things like it’s obvious they are just important as lives. Fucking disgusting
You’re expecting me to value people who steal shit.
And before this goes in a disingenuous direction, no, I don’t mean stealing bread from a damn grocery store.
I’m expecting you to not be a fucking enraged ape
Uh, that’s your attitude Mr. “Carry a gun so you can kill whoever bothers you”.
Uh, no. There are quite a lot of laws governing when deadly force is allowed which vary by country and state. I’m quite sure none of them allow it when someone “bothers you”.
There’s also laws governing what constitutes theft. Your entire argument about needing a gun is dependent on people not following the law.
Yeah the people stealing shit are… different people and not me?
What is your point?
The people with guns are different people and not me. Why should I trust them?
I mean, I don’t require your trust.
But consider the consequences if I misuse my gun. They’re quite a lot more serious than those caught stealing.
I agree with you completely.
Try “A government should take care of its citizens.”
I truly hope the police reach you in time, every time.
