My issue isn't with those who think of a firearms in practical terms -- basically just as a tool with specific and limited functions. Rather, it's with those who think of firearms almost in magical terms, as a token of manliness and a totem of protection. They seem to imagine that simply by having a firearm on them, they're automatically safer, when in reality the circumstances where having a firearm on hand would make you safer are pretty rare, and there are circumstances where it would make you less safe, as well.

Guns in america are symbols of the liberty americans sat on their asses and watched stripped away from them as they polished their guns.
Yeah, we've come a long way from when firearms were seen as mere tools and when the NRA existed to promote hunting and safety. Now they are items of veneration and worship among the gun-humpers; some magical talisman that will keep them "free" and "safe" from everything -- from a crazed brown illegal on coke looking to ravage their women -- to the U.S. government with all its tanks, jets, and WMDs.

Case in point:

Apparently it's that triggers you pussies when you see them. Inanimate objects made of metal tend to do that to your kind.

I'm not the one tearing them down. Those doing so seem triggered about an inanimate object made of metal. Tearing them down won't change that your kind were slaves and couldn't do a damn thing about it until white people stopped it.

A gun can mean the difference between life and death if you are able to use it to protect yourself. I’m a small person and so if a large man tried to assault me or was being very threatening to me then a gun would instantly change the odds in my favor if I’m able to have it between him and me. Without it then I’d physically be at his mercy unless I had another weapon or am able to hit, bite, or kick him in a place that would give me a chance to escape. So I get it from a females point of view.
At least you admit your kind are inferior. That, alone, has been a historical trigger for your kind.

Rachel Dolenzal claimed she was black. We both know that is a lie.

there are places to find some statistics. it then becomes a matter of people considering biased or anecdotal....depending upon their internal views of guns.
my view is that the sense of security, real security or false, is purely a matter of ones confidence and training, as well as the desire of a potential criminal to deal with an armed individual. i've seen and been part of incidents where the mere sight of an openly carried handgun has likely deterred an act of violence.
