Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

    It’s really not that dumb and your analogy is bad.

    If it was normal to buy popcorn and never eat it then it would make sense. Obviously most people who buy guns never kill anyone with them and you can carry it and not use it

      Way to contradict the OPs statement. Guns don’t get used much, but acting like having one makes you more violent, which is the point of the statement, is dumb.
