Itās not a strawman.
A nutjob took a knife into a mall in Sydney here 6 weeks ago - he stabbed 17 ppl before cops shot him. Pretty much all women and children. 20 mins for cops to get him with one random bloke holding him on an escalator with a pole for a bit.
Imagine a world where everyone had guns. You think the nutjob stabs 17 women and children then?
Your bar of being equally fast to pull the trigger is wrong.
A lunatic with a gun or a knife of a toothpick can kill someone. That is impossible to stop. Itās the second, third, fourth etc attacks that guns will stop in a way that knives and toothpicks wonāt.
The first attacks get deterred by the knowledge their brains are gonna be on the pavement within 10 seconds.
You might not like violence, your government has clearly whipped that into you. Thatās the real world though. Sacks of flesh and bone behave differently when the destruction of said sacks is equally plausible to when just one side is going to suffer.
Really sad that youāve acceded to your cuck government on this. You are an indication that your country is fukt.
