Apparently I need to hope I don't ever get robbed according to gun nuts

[Esquilax]

Was arguing with some gun nuts on gun control and they were saying how they wouldn't bother to save me. lmao

There's something both lovely and awful about how quickly the "only good guys with guns can beat the bad guys with guns," rhetoric cedes to petty, punitive threats in the face of even mild dissent that persists. These people are up there casting themselves as the guardians of society, protecting us all, but whoops, you disagree with them, so all the high minded talk of heroics stops, and the real reason comes out: you want to put limitations on their gun ownership, which their pride doesn't like because it's so bound up in this knowledge that if they wanted to they could hurt someone. It's about having the guns, not the use they keep asserting they'd put them to.

That's sort of the problem in general, is that the most ardently gun loving "patriots" are also all about retributive inaction or hostility for anyone having the temerity to live outside of their pre-approved lifestyle. The ones who go on loudest about how they'd use their guns to protect society are the last trustworthy ones to do so.
