I explained it well enough already. But since you want to be pedantic about it, defense would be using the rifle to eliminate threats to your life or the lives of others.
My question was to illustrate that the positive use of guns, defense, is done through the use of destruction.
I am not trying to fight you.
Guns are built for the purpose of destroying a target. There is no positive impact on society.
Saying that guns kill people that want to hurt society is the benefit of guns is still saying that death is the benefit. What if society didn’t isolate and disenfranchise the people? Our world, overflowing with resources, is choosing guns to defend their stuff and ignoring how we wouldn’t have to defend ourselves from our neighbors if we actually shared.
Not even thinking of “forgotten money” which is money that people dont even think about because they don’t have to, how much money is sitting in bank accounts as emergency funds because a hospital can destroy your life? The money sitting around could help a homeless family get their apartment deposit. Will you get equal returm from ot? Maybe. Our world is our home. Isn’t it our duty to see our whole family is taken care of?
But society says you’re on your own (usa) if you’re in trouble. No wonder people don’t share wealth. One broken ankle can lose your home. Must make sure to have money in case i am hurt, because my society will not help.
We are all doing fine as for me and mine, so you have no need to worry about us. The overall society is something I have zero control or influence over, so it’s basically none of my concern.
You seem to be looking at the big picture like you’re meditating on it from Cloud 9 and imagining the way things could be if you had the powers of a magical genie to reform everything into a peaceful Zen tranquility. That’s simply not reality, it’s wishful thinking.
Flying was wishful thinking. Being able to stay underwater for 3 hours was wishful thinking. Talking to your friend when they are 300 miles away was wishful thinking.
Defending an area by doing what?

Wishful thinking is what improves society.
