Gotta love the amgy pro gun liberals and leftists who keep trying to theory their way out of the fact that going for a gun from a reactionary position just raises the odds you'll die in the exchange.

There is a fucking reason why even castle doctrine states will typically push duty to de-escalate, and why gun license training involves reprimanding wannabe rambos who think charging in with a glock pulled is a good idea if you realize your home has been invaded.

A firearm is NOT a defensive tool, it is a tool designed entirely for the purpose of killing, maiming, and severely injuring, the most you're going to defend yourself from is a wild animal that you caught flinching to charge you.

Also, "An armed minority can't be opressed." is something only an insane person, or a white person on red state public education system brain can say as if we don't live in a country where manifest destiny happened. The Apache didn't surrender after hundreds of years of fighting the Spanish, Mexicans, and finally Americans using just sticks and arrows.
