have a gun he could not shoot you. It is all the paradigm you look through. Yours has guns as a given. Most people see life without guns or the need for them. And blind hatred of guns is a good thing not a negative in the paradigms of most people. That is because they see gun violence as a negative that can be prevented to some degree not taken as a collateral part of having freedom.
