1. "Good guys with guns..."

Remember how police shot NINE bystanders at the Empire State Building?

Ronald Reagan was surrounded by well armed and well trained Secret Service agents. He and three other people still got shot.

Bad guys shoot first.

Using a gun for "Self Defense" is a sick fantasy. In ordinary civilian life anyone who believes the "self defense" argument has imaginary bad guys rattling around in their heads. God forbid they ever meet actual bad guys. It's likely those won't look anything like the bad guys of their imagination. It may be an angry lover, a fellow gun fetishist, or the guy in the mirror.

The gun lovers celebrate the rare stories where the "good guy won" from the stories where guns just made everything worse, which is usually the case, even in the stories the gun lovers like to tell.

The realities of gun violence are nothing like television or movie fantasies. There is no plot, shit just happens. Once the guns come out, everything is FUBAR.
