You best be thankful you never lived in a dangerous neighbourhood.
Then you didn’t know where I lived when I went to school in Toronto. Kitty-Corner from me was a pay by hour hotel. Lots of hookers, escorts, pimps, drugs, etc.
They just didn’t have guns. Because they’re hard to come by in Canada and don’t come with the same dick stroking reputation as it does in the States. No one cares about guns here because our country doesn’t masturbate over the idea of having them.
I’ve known multiple drug dealers in my life. None of them owned guns.
Perhaps you should self reflect that this problem you have with needing to “protect” your family with killing machines because other people have such easy access to those same killing machines is purely an America problem, not a global problem.
I hope you never use those guns on your family. Because statistically you are.
In your shithole of a country maybe. Last I checked your president is putting tariffs on our country because of the vast amounts of fentanyl crossing into your country, or something like that. I think he fell asleep halfway through.
And you can actually be a safe gun owner.
Literally no such thing. You cannot own a device who’s sole purpose is to kill other humans and be responsible with it. And I say this as a former member of CAF who fired weapons far larger that whatever you have in your purse.
Oh, you just bleed out from it from the multiple bullet woulds! It doesn’t instantly kill you, you just die slower!
What a dystopian response. I genuinely fear for your children if you actually think this way. Best of luck to them with a parent like you raising them.
I don’t think this person is worth engaging, but I’m American, worked in the wholesale side of drug dealing where we were dealing with thousands of doses at a time, and nobody had a gun. You know not of what you speak.
Real criminals generally don’t carry a gun. It adds years to the charge.
You are many orders of magnitude more likely to kill yourself or a loved one with a gun in the home than you are to stop an attempted home invasion with a gun. The statistics aren’t remotely ambiguous, you are much much much more likely to get shot when you have a gun in your home.
And we’ve quadrupled down on not understanding how statistics work. This has been an incredibly typical lemmy discussion but even my masochism has limits. Good luck with the whole becoming a statistic thing, certainly your overconfidence that you’re one of the magical safe gun owners won’t have negligent discharge consequences. Buhbye now.

Again, that’s not how statistics work.
