          You are utilizing cyclical reasoning… They have guns. This isn’t a debate about whether or not they theoretically should have guns, they already have the guns.

          Everyone here would prefer if no one had guns, but that’s not the current reality. Nor is it one a person with a gun is going to accept as an answer from a person without a gun.

          If your only rebuttal to the use of hard power against you is ethical rhetoric, you’re not going to have a good time.

          The same way they came for Gabby Giffords or Paul Pelosi or that pizza parlor owner or all the Democrats in congress on Jan 6th. You’ll need some help when your neighbor has finally heard enough AM radio and decides today’s the day, or when conservative stochastic terrorism is so wide-spread that the cops just can’t keep up with it all.

          Let’s see… In this thread we’ve now covered who, how, when, where and why.

            No. You covered people that aren’t me, in a city that isn’t mine, in a situation I’m not in and neither are most people.

              Well, good for you for being safe and tucked away from the conservatives. I guess this existential fight does not involve you. So, there should be no reason for you to involve yourself with this discussion about how to defend against them.

                No. That means conservatives are worried about defending what? Fighting against the government? They aren’t fighting against everyday people. It’s not logical to think that they have an enemy other than themselves. A gun is not necessary for any reason.

        In their fantasy. When does that happen to people just minding their own business?
