I mean yes, sorta. The selling point of guns is that you can defend yourself. The good guy with a gun part is secondary.
The good guy with a gun is also a lie. If you want to strip out the flowery rhetoric and promises that are never delivered, sure, go ahead. You’re left with a group of people who are happy to put other people in danger for their own (often false) sense of security.
Also this us vs them mentality doesn’t seem good for productive discussion.
Nope, fuck that. They’ve had 20 years of polite discussion and potential compromise and they’ve done nothing. It clearly is us vs them.
