Sorry to hear it. In that case, where you don't have false goals of runaway success or anything, and aren't gambling the farm on it, yeah you should throw a few bucks into it. If you read up on what the differences between currenc

Considering police, security workers, private investigators, etc, are a majority of gun carriers, yes, many of them are rightly afraid of people with knives or improvised weapons.

You know you can't come up with any actual threats from immigrants. Except maybe that one would win away your girlfriend who's sick of your shit. So no, I can't switch to your side because you literally don't have one. A

That gun deaths cluster around guns, and ongoing violence. If you can avoid those you've chopped your risk greatly. Traffic fatalities do cluster around roads, yes, but those are harder to avoid for the average person. While the base n

Where did that come from? Who's a threat? If there really was a threat it would be reasonable for you to want less immigrants. But there isn't, that's straight up racism. You might as well say you don't want a jew steali

Why have this conversation though? Even if you were right, you'd save a hundred times more people by advocating for better road safety. I'm not even against gun control. I'm merely against useless legislation and fear-based
