RE: Which Do You Value More: Freedom or the Well-being Freedom Brings?

in #guns7 years ago

Some view owning a gun as a sheer threat as well. I'm not sure why they are wrong. Guns are designed to be very effective offensive killing machines. That's threatening. Knowing we could be killed at any moment while out at a public event brings with it some level of psychological harm. If everyone had defensive weapons only, that harm wouldn't be there and our well-being would go up.

Sort:  

They are a threat. Cops pull them out and point them at regular people all the time too. They do what we cannot do. If we did that, it would be considered brandishing at the least. There's a double standard though, and they benefit from it and special protections. No thanks!
