- peterwwillis 10y agoOkay, so that question was too specific. New question: is the reason one might want to have a gun in an emergency simply to be able to injure, maim or kill someone regardless of a specific reason? If you say it's "for defense", remember that the concept is subjective; a robber being beaten for stealing may fear for their life and "defend" themselves. Specific reasons are less controversial and more practical.
- up_so_floating 10y agoIt is really a simple matter. I want to help maintain or improve the welfare of those I care about, regardless of scenario. In order to achieve this outcome, it is usually sufficient to go to work, invest, and partake in mutually fulfilling rituals. For the edge cases, a gun might be useful. And, in this thread, it is the edge cases that we are discussing.
