    Not a normal person. And even then, here we don’t worry about criminals with guns that much.

      I didn’t ask to be born in a country where burglars are likely to have firearms. But now that I am, I have to react to that fact myself.

        I am pro gun control, but if I lived in the USA, I’d own a gun. My opinions are for the ballot box and don’t matter whenever someone is breaking into my house and threatening the lives of my wife and my children.

      If you think before posting, ask yourself: is it normal to break into people’s homes?

      No. It’s incredibly disturbing behaviour, and in the USA they are likely armed as well. They’re not going to nicely ask you not to resist them. That’s why you need to have a gun so you can shoot them before they shoot you.

        With that mindset everyone will have guns, so violence then actually increases.

        The only answer is to dearm everyone.

      What a terribly privileged take. Not everyone can live up in that ivory tower with you.

  Someone having guns to shoot the boot soldiers of an unjust regime? All for it. Big green flag to me.

    Those aren’t exactly normal people.

    When I said, “someone having guns to shoot normal people”, I talked about the MAGA guys.
