The ACAB crowd and the "why do you need a gun?" crowd have a large overlapping percentage.

That's me, because I'm British. I don't need the cops NOR a gun to defend myself. Because no one else has a gun, which is the kind of situation I suspect most "you dont need a gun" leftists are arguing for.

In addition the entire premise is resting on the assumption that you will actually be able to do anything with a gun. In reality the thefts will happen when you are not at home, and statistically speaking having a gun during a robbery makes it more likely that you yourself get hurt.

Of course having guns for other reasons can make sense, but not in the case that the OP meme stipulates.

Keep your voice down, nuance isn't acceptable on the Internet.
