    Firearms usage in the US is dysfunctional anyway. It causes heightened tensions in every situation. I don’t know how it can ever be better.

      Well tbf I’d rather be heightened than stabbed, and the presence of a firearm has prevented me from being stabbed at least once, so net win.

        I guess the stabber was afraid that you had a firearm, that’s why they tried to stab you? To avoid getting shot first?

          Well, besides the fact that that is a very poor plan that is more likely to get you shot than “leaving someone alone,” you should look into the concept of “concealed” carry. Idk, maybe he did have X-Ray vision, but somehow I doubt that.

            I never owned a gun in my life, but I also have never lived in a country where guns are widely available. Well, I lived in Brazil for a spell, but not in a gun toting neighbourhood, though some of the farmers had air rifles

              Cool, but I assume you’re still able to connect the concept of “concealed” to your theory to see that it has pretty big holes. He didn’t know I had a gun until he pulled a knife on me and I showed him, so he couldn’t have pulled it in effort to murder me at for being an open carrying person minding their business, as I was concealed carrying not open carrying.

              Furthermore, once he saw it, he decided to leave for some strange reason, so that’s another hole in the theory that he likes to use inferior armaments to murder innocent people for having a different armament than he does.

              Your theory is flawed, sir individual.
