It is a matter of playing god, isnt it.


No it isn't so stop bringing it up all the time! It's not playing god, it's deciding that YOU don't want to be a victim of violent crime who very well might just be killed after being brutally victimized!

You can either be strong, or you can be weak. And if you decide to leave your life in the hands of somebody that doesn't care about the laws, then you've decided to be weak.

From a personal point of view, an individual with a gun has much more of a chance against someone without a gun.


And a person with a gun has much more of a chance against someone else with a gun than they would have without a gun.

There are enough guns in the US for every single person to have one, but only about a third of people do actually have guns. How many people have carry and conceal licenses? Probably not a large percentage.


And what exactly is your damn point!?

Because sometimes it is better not to have to defend yourself.


Well of course it's better if you don't have to be in a situation where you have to defend yourself, but that's rarely the case, because a lot of times we're FORCED into a position where we HAVE to defend ourselves because we very well might die if we do nothing but sit there and take it!

That is the cold hard truth, that is the way life works. You either accept is as reality, or you deny it and die as a result of your own stupidity. You have no other options.
