    Guns are meant to kill at a distance without your opponent touching you or possibly even seeing you, they are fundamentally a cowardly weapon.

      The phrase “never bring a gun to a knife fight” is referring to intelligence not bravery.

        How about “idioms don’t dictate real life and people are dieing”, does that jive with you?

      So you prefer it when people kill other people up close? That is somehow brave?

      You sound psychotic.

        I’d rather they didn’t kill each other at all, it’s weird that you’re so defensive about being able to murder people easier.

          That isn’t at all what I stated or implied. You are the one who thought it was brave to kill people close up.

          Maybe you should spend some time working on yourself.

            Lol, that isn’t at all what I stated or implied. You’re the one who thought it was brave to kill people from far away.

            Have fun with your guns. Coward.

              That’s because you changed the text of your earlier post. I never stated it was brave to kill anyone at any distance. You seem to be a craven hypocritical anti-2A nut job.

              You are the very embodiment of why I choose to keep my firearms and support the 2A.

                The fuck? I absolutely didn’t change the text. I’m just a regular guy who is fed up with the gun lobby bullshit in this country. Kindly go fuck yourself.

      Anyone playing fair in a life or death situation isn’t trying hard enough.

      Your perspective is incredibly narrow.

      Must be nice to never have to worry about defending yourself from attackers who overpower you or who have weapons.

      Definitely all those black people with guns facing down the racists with guns at the Tulsa Race Massacre should’ve been brave and fought fisticuffs, 21st century style. /S (Yes I’m well aware their homes and businesses were burned to the ground despite attempts to defend themselves).

      The Black Panthers were just cowards. /S

      The trans folks at Tenacious Unicorn Ranch definitely were cowards for not facing bigots threatening to kill them with fists and harsh words. /S

        As someone who lives outside of the US: it is nice. You guys should try it.

        I’ve literally only ever seen a gun take a life that didn’t deserve it. How many home invaders have you personally staved off? You know this isn’t 1921 anymore, right?

        The gun culture in this country is toxic and you’re part of the problem spreading that bs to justify your own peace of mind. I’m sure you only need Jesus and your ar-15 to survive but the rest of us would like to go to the grocery store without worrying about the place being shot up by some nut job that picked up a rifle at the corner shop on a whim.

      This would be a lovely take, if there weren’t so many other people running around with guns. Is it cowardly to want to protect yourself from the actual cowards?

        Oh, you mean the cowards with guns? The guns that make it so easy to murder you or even schools full of children? You’re talking about those gun users specifically, right? Boy, it would be great if we could get some meaningful laws about that, huh.
