Quote from IShopAtPublix:
Let's try a mental experiment:
What if I hold a king cobra on a pike not far from you, would you feel uncomfortable? An entity that can kill you in minutes being not far from you will unnerve just about anyone.
Now try having an entity that can kill DOZENS in a matter of SECONDS, i.e a semi automatic weapon.
An average citizen with a gun near me presents a mortal threat to me. I don't want to depend on their goodwill, their temper, their mood, their psychiatric condition or their potential criminal intent.
When I drive I frequently encounter complete idiots who just don't give a shit. Knowing that EVERY asshole on their road has easy access to a gun is an unpleasant feeling.
Easy access to guns means only lazy criminals don't have access to them. The person who killed 2 firefighters was in prison for murder, yet he easily and effortlessly got his hands on a gun. In USA every douchebag mfer has a gun. That is not the case in every single country and that is ONLY the case because of lax gun laws.
US government controls things that are crucial very well. You cant casually get a hand grenade or an RPG and if you tried FBI would be on your ass. If you tried to purchase ingredients connected to bombmaking on the internet you would have men in black at your door in days. If you purchase 10 hand guns and thousands of rounds of ammo, body armor, tactical gear, nobody would care.
