Reply #135: Then work for gun control too, if you care about others

...because most people cannot successfully use guns against attackers.

People who feel confident using guns against attackers have a very self-centered viewpoint. Just because you feel proficient in it, you think that everyone should be armed (like everyone can ride a bike or learn how to knit I guess--!?!).

The majority of the population cannot safely or successfully use a gun. So this solution might work for
you and people like you, but it is not a reasonable solution for others. Someone I knew got killed outside a mall while shopping recently. But I would not carry a gun in order to feel safe while shopping. I just stay as far away from malls as possible. As it is, my "right" to go to public places without fear of violence has already been compromised in America. One day, it'll be like living in Iraq if it goes any further in this direction.

Glad you can feel "safe." How about some consideration for the rest of us for a change.
