I get angry enough that a cop pulling me over for speeding carries a gun, or that every emergency call needs to be responded to by jackbooted, militarized thugs when less than 15% ever involve violence. I can't imagine living in a country where every scared little baby had easy access to firearms.
What astounds me is it's clearly a losing battle. Our statistics are terrible. The proliferation of firearms makes us no safer and in fact leads to a plethora of terrible side-effects that yield a net-negative upon society. Even the Wild West was no safer, hence why both Dodge City and Tombstone both implemented gun control laws.
It only makes sense. Easy access to firearms benefits the deranged and criminal since they're the ones with the willingness to abuse them and we don't live in Minority Report where the defender can easily shoot first.
I see you used the word "statistics" and I have bad news for you:
Most of those idiots don't know what that word means.
But damn if they can't name every component of a gun. Not spell any of them. But they sure can hold a conversation.
But boy oh boy don't you confuse clip from magazine!
Or silencer and suppressor. That's an hour long rant you're in for...
If I were in a job where 15% of my professional interactions involved violence, you bet your ass I’d be as armed and armored as possible.
This is why I always advocate for arming and armoring the homeless.
