Guns are used to kill people. They don't make anyone safer.

First, I’m #NotARepublican I’m a classic liberal, and I’m from an immigrant family, and didn't emigrate to the US until I was 6. My family on both sides are liberal party members, however, they recently left the Democrat party because they believe it's gone too far left) and we are all gun owners. I just wanted to tell you that there is insurance that will pay for 100% of any legal expenses if you are unfortunately in a self defense situation, where you need to fire at an intruder. In my state, if you shoot someone in your home, the likelihood of even being arrested is almost zero! (one of the sheriffs here (Pasco County I believe) actually requested that citizens come to the sheriffs department and take shooting classes so that when they shoot intruders, stating "personally I would much prefer it if you killed the intruder, that way you save the county millions!”) So getting arrested for self-defense in your home here is almost nonexistent. However, if you are arrested after a self-defense incident using your firearm, I can think of three different companies that offer a very low cost insurance policy that will pay all of your legal fees. (also, in the Rittenhouse case, I believe all of his legal fees were paid, but he is currently facing civil lawsuits, and there are several GoFundMe that have raised over $110,000 to cover his legal fees according to ChatGPT.)

I get ya but it's weak sauce.

Here's how you piss off good gun owners.

You can't use your gun in self defense without millions of dollars going to lawyers. People are that stupid even in red states how self defense works.

I'm a hardcore leftist who had jury duty and basically a couple rented a basement area and the landlord truck as fuck was told to leave dozen times touch the bed cornering them and said this is my house put his hand behind his back and ultimately shot in the face.

I was fighting tooth and nail for the guy and no one had any clue what self defense meant even after getting it in writing by the judge. Boomer old fucks.

Even the cops at the crime scene half assed everything knowing it was self defense. It was only after being awake for 24 hours plus the guy talked to the cops and trapped him using the word "snap". To me personally I think "snap" is capable with self defense. Do or die SNAP something happened before you know what happened and you are standing the other person is not alive.

But apparently boomers are perfect abertrator of their future with perfect accuracy.

So this is how we get pro gun people in line with some level of registration. You can't use it in self defense without millions of dollars like kyle rittenhouse that he got "pro bono" free for common good in Latin I think. Still cost millions for others.

We have an unhealthy obsession with guns. Less guns via mental health checkups, licenses, permits, regulations, universal national background checks, and raising the age to purchase firearms would decrease the amount of gun violence.

People die in car accidents so we made a DMV & license & registration & vehicle recalls & etc.

People tried to terrorize planes for their own gain so we made detectors, taking off shoes, can’t bring knives or other weaponry, made rules stricter, etc.

People die in school shootings everyday in this country, don’t tell me that we are just going to sit idly by while more children are going to die just like men on a battlefield….

Comparing apples to concrete blocks.

It creates issues for law enforcement and it can result in escallations where goes worse.

But some times a person saves their life or lives of others by having firearm. shooting in the mall where guy took down shooter, is one example.

What makes us safer is very well trained and disciplined people, stop committing crimes, better distribution of wealth in the country, protecting borders from those that are trouble or not trained/conditioned. Ultimately, parents... good ones, make us safer. we should invest in parents, get kids out of foster care, get the corrupted kids invading out of the country or into support systems.

The other thing is that if we ban guns... criminals don't obey such laws, there's a black market, they can print up or buy them and they are armed and still shoot cops and others.

Most cops don’t hate guns many are gun owners themselves, every cop is different law enforcement officers don’t think in a hivemind so some maybe have different opinions then others.

I think what most cops don’t want is to be shot, you don’t know whose going to pull a weapon on you especially because law enforcement deals with seemingly normal people all the time who turn out to be loons, criminals, and the list goes on. You trust nobody at the end of the day.

Good people owning guns makes us safer obviously the criminals are going to find ways to obtain them. But let’s take guns away and defund the police! But then when a black criminal has a gun oh it’s racism to prosecute him. But let’s say even a black American with Trump flags oh take his guns.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

It's because of how they're trained. Cops are basically brainwashed into hating the public.

They think the best way to keep them safe is to make them fearful of everything instead of training them to be ready for anything.

Avicenna · Answer

You have a vast arsenal of firearms, Odd, despite your mental health issues. Since they aren’t for your safety, why do you have them?
