furrowed brow wrote:so many times people with guns are in more danger than if they didn't have one. because as soon as you have a gun that means someone can try to take it from you, and the implicit threat of you having one may make them try and take it out of insecurity that you'll use it on them even if you have no intention of doing and they would otherwise not try to attack you at all.
Saw this awful vid of a guy being shot dead in some dumb custody dispute with his ex and her boyfriend. Situation totally escalated once bf went inside and got his gun, ex-husband now felt threatened, went to rip it from bf's hands and died trying bc bf now felt threatened that he could have his gun taken away and used on him. Guns don't make people safer.
yea the justification that having a gun means anyone who’s mad at you can be treated like they’re holding a gun too because they could potentially take yours
so goddamn fucked, it gives teachers license to shoot students
