yes. this is very different than you claiming Im treating people like criminals before they own a gun.
I live here. I have heard so many gunshots. People have been murdered a few dozen feet from my front door. There are shootings daily on the local news.
you're a goddamn lunatic. Of course less overall fucking matters if you dont wanna be attacked. It means you're less bloody likely to be attacked!
Well, there are already 600,000,000+ guns in 167,457,447 people's possession. So you're too late on that one.
But you are attempting to treat people how we treat criminals (removal of rights) without them having committed a crime. Like, by definition that is what you're doing.
Sounds like you should move out of your neighborhood as it is one of those 5 counties with 50% of the murders. Hell, move to ~~paradise~~ Der Vaterland if you're so inclined, but you could literally escape that by going one or two counties over. Or stay, but if you do I'd buy a gun.
You're a goddamned moron (two can play this game). You may be less likely to be attacked, but some people are attacked there nonetheless, and for those people, frequency likely stops mattering as they are being stabbed, as it is currently happening despite the rarity. It isn't pokemon cards, they don't suddenly go "yes I'm dying but really this is lucky because it's so rare to be brutally murdered here like I currently am."
