    Where were all the good people with guns ensuring that peace would erupt instead?

      Well you see the proliferation of firearms always benefits the violent criminal over the heroic defender. Always. It’s a losing race.

      Even back to the Wild West, places like Tombstone and Dodge City would come to implement gun control laws because, surprise, being mutually armed doesn’t help when the other guy has both the element of surprise and willingness to fire first.

        But if it fails in real life, try, try again!

      Not risking their lives to help you. They’re in it for themselves because they’re scared. They’re afraid of brown people because they’re told to be. They’re puppets to the propaganda and get their info from fox “news”

      On average, the rate of a vigilante saving the day is one in 7,000. There’s no record of the number of shootings caused by bad vigilantes, though, so we don’t know if that 1:7000 is a net-positive.
