      The most responsible gun owner in the world is still armed for violence because they’re afraid.

      Civilian guns are for pussies.

          I used to live next to a neighbor who tried to kill me twice. I was poor, in a poor neighborhood, with shitty utilities and actively-hostile police. My home has been broken into, there was violence outside of my house, and my neighbor got arrested for meth.

          I just don’t live in fear, because I’m not a coward.

            Acknowledging you live in a dangerous situation and taking steps to improve your chances if something should happen isn’t living in fear. Nor is it cowardly.

              Buying a gun as a civilian, for the purposes of defense, is inherently an act of fear. That’s inarguable.

                If you think you’ll have a reasonable chance of needing it that isn’t fear. It’s just being prepared. If you are in a situation where a gun is warranted there really aren’t better alternatives.
