I get the idea of wanting to defend oneself, but that ultimately means a shootout.

Study a concept called “deterrence”. It’ll blow your mind.

It’s hardly going to matter who shot the first bullet in the history books.

Generally speaking whoever shoots first lives while the other one dies. Above statement makes no sense?

The far right

Admit it. You only refer to “the far right” and never “the right”.

are also going to arm themselves when they see other people arming themselves

We’re already armed, in response to the other people who’ve been arming themselves for thousands of years. The world being a dangerous place is not something we are just discovering now.

Do I have a better solution, no.

Awareness is always a good first step to growth

Buying a gun does not cause maas shootings to happen.

And it’s only going to take one shootout before it’s used in a legal sense against people.

You guessed it. We republicans are going to make women illegal. Such clear headed insight on your part
