America's obsession with guns

[Brian37]

Everybody's ignoring the "I walk up BEHIND YOU" part. Because that renders their argument null and void.

What's your point? Anybody can be ambushed. I could walk up behind you and stick my thumb up your ass.

BINGO, ANYBODY CAN BE AMBUSHED

Knife or gun, if someone wants to ambush you you are far less likely to be able to reach your holstered firearm. If someone has knife to your back you are going to get hurt to some degree regardless if you have a gun. If they have a gun to your back you better either have a bullet proof vest on or you better be superman, because the person who AMBUSHED YOU is at the advantage, and if you flinch one bit, it is highly likely they will pull their trigger before you pull yours.

Yes you could stick your thumb in my ass, but unless I can see that it is just your thumb if you say you have a gun to my back, if I don't know you, I am going to assume you do. Because if I assume it is just your thumb and and it turns out you have gun, I'm dead.

See KUSA you are playing hero in your head, and that kind of delusional nonsense will get you needlessly hurt. TRAINING matters more than the weapon you face. Fight is tough talk. Training, the type of training cops and military take and use on a daily bases requires far more than mere good intent.
