My proposal for gun rights

Well, in general the lower availability of guns in that country means that far fewer criminals will be armed. However, my proposal isn’t ‘restrict gun ownership so an ordinary citizen can’t get one’, so why are you asking me this? The reason I brought up other countries was to make the common-sense point that ‘gun rights’ and ‘self defense rights’ are not synonymous.

Let’s not conflate “armed” and with a gun.
The logical problem here is the bad guy may have a club or blade, and the good citizen who may be smaller or older sitting at home or at their business cannot overcome the attack without a weapon as capable as a gun. Having the right to self defense is not the same as access to effective tools of self defense.

Side note-i’m tired, and not typing well. Long tough day, lots of personal family drama. MIL is in the hospital and I have real world things to do.

I rest my case as stated.

Be well Obdi.
