There's also laws governing what constitutes theft. Your entire argument about needing a gun is dependent on people not following the law.

Yeah the people stealing shit are... different people and not me?

What is your point?

The people with guns are different people and not me. Why should I trust them?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, I don't require your trust.

But consider the consequences if I misuse my gun. They're quite a lot more serious than those caught stealing.

I agree with you completely.

I mean yeah. The thing about carrying a gun gun is that if you use it, you’re going to get arrested, probably. Even if it’s self defense.

Oh no, I meant the consequences for other people when he misuses his gun are much more severe than the consequences for other people if someone steals from them.
