that's not rly how guns work, if I was rly good with guns I could kill someone with a .22lr if they had a 9mm and were bad with guns, the thing is different guns are good for different things, you won't be able to use a shotgun effectively at 50m++ for example or a sniper rifle at 7m--

also how good you are with guns isn't a genetics thing like physical strength

of course I'd rather live in a world without guns, but the moment one person has a gun everyone should have one

for one I just belive that every human should be able to defend themselfs with weapons, if we didn't have guns I'd belive in the right to bear swoards or a bow

but now to why I belive this:

so you should know I'm an anarchist, so I reject every authority, that's why I think we should have guns, so we can stand up against authority if we need to or even if we lived in an anarchist utopia, we should have them in case a forgein nation would attack

then you also have to realize, that you can kill someone without a gun, but only if you're the stronger one. now who is stronger than the avarege woman? the avarege man! so the avarege man could rape and traumatize the avarege woman with no instant consequences so how can the avarege woman defend themself? with a gun

now I am a transgender individual in a country growing more fascist by the day, should I have to fear assault, rape and murder only because I'm different? no, I should have to be able to defend myself

I accept that your opinion may be different, and that's ok, there are good reasons to ban guns, this is just my stance on it

also, it basically boiles down to one thing: do you preffer freedom or safety? because freedom isn't safe and safety isn't free, I personally like freedom more, that's why I like my guns (and the fact, that gunsmithing is my favourite hobby)

yeah, but the solution is taking peoples guns away and many people (as do I) belive that the right to bear arms is an important human right
