      I love the duality of Lemmy users:

      “Ohhh nooos we can’t depend upon the police!”

      “Ohh nooos how dare someone suggest taking agency for their own safety ! 2A is baddd mmmkay!”

        I think the overall sentiment is removing violence as an option for everyone, cops, citizens, and criminals alike

        Guns as a thing in this world inherently create death and loss as a result of their existence, not in spite of it

          It’s a nice sentiment, I too abhor violence. But the world we live in is just not that way. I prefer to hope for the best, but prepare for the worst in people.

        Bark on about how your rights are being taken, maybe when you find your oppressor we can throw a gun in the mix and see who comes out victorious. Waah waah, the powers are holding me down. Let’s go get the state to allow more unrestricted access to fire arms, as that’s everyone’s solution to everything.

          Im not sure where your rant came from. I’m not trying to throw a revolution. Just trying to protect me and mine.

                Buddy, you’re the one all about the safe space in your domicile with your guns. TF i care about your trolling, you’re in a thread about domestic abuse, and have no grasp on the statistics I presented to counter your high and mighty opinion.

                  Lol, dropping a link in a post does not constitute an argument or a counter to my “high and mighty opinion”. That is a citation.

                  If you can’t form a coherent argument on your own thats fine, but don’t delude yourself into thinking dropping a link is a substitute.

                    To be honest I’m truly bored with this discussion. The argument you’ve given boils down to meaningless pedantry that critiiques ones’ presentation over facts, contained in the link I found quickly, with which to dispel the illiterate.
