    Here in Australia people defend themselves fine without guns

    Guns are better at killing lots of innocent people than defence.

    Great for suicide too , and angry people who have a bad day and are unstable

    You’re better off with pepper spray and a rape whistle

    In shootings, trained people don’t stand there shooting back, they run. That should tell you more about the effectiveness of guns as an offensive weapon instead of defensive.

    Lots of people with guns out there who think they’re the good guys

      what if your guy wears glasses and no help comes tho?

      don’t get me wrong, ik that guns can do lots of evil, but the thing is: people who want to break the law won’t care if it’s illegal to own a gun
