to be fair, being pro gun is typically about machismo power fantasy at the cost of that.
if youre going to fight the people who are genuinely ruining your life, guns, especially in the way Americans think of them, are not the primary tool for the job. if youre going to defend your home, also a bad tool. do not fire a gun indoors.
add to that: the people mostly advocating for chemical guns are against the proliferation of other effective weapons for the purpose (anti drone and anti armor weapons, ied's) and against fighting the people you actually need guns to fight, and can't just talk shit out with.
so while I do not give a shit about guns, someone saying they're pro gun is a huge red flag, and most 'pro gun' rhetoric is shit.
