Fuck owning guns and fuck owning guns for personal protection.
Handguns are the dumbest fucking thing in the world for society to allow. Lets make killing someone as easy as pressing a button at a distance! That's gotta a be a good necessary thing for anyone to do on a whim.
I 100% agree we need way more restrictions when it comes to firearms, but it is absolutely necessary for people to have a firearm for their own protection. I personally know activists, especially LGBT rights activists, who's life depended on that side holster of theirs and are still here to this day because of it.
Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand would all show that what you're saying is false.
This argument is nonsense pushed forward by the gun industry to try and get leftists on their side. Allowing for activists to freely own handguns means that counter activists will which makes everyone less safe.
Order of operation is a bit mixed up here.
No, the order of operations does not matter because both sides lead back to the other. That's called a feedback loop and you are participating in it rather than breaking out of it.
The only way to win the game of 'whose going to be safest by buying more guns' is not to play.
