Why are you not terrified when stood near a busy road?
If you are stood near a busy road, any of those drivers, with a small turn of the wheel, could run you, and many others, down … and there would be little you, or anyone else, could do about it. Any of the hundreds of drivers going by every few minutes could kill you if they chose to, with little or no risk to themselves.
The perception of danger.
If all those drivers were instead walking past with a rifle over their shoulder, you would be at no more risk. Any of them could try and kill you, but rather than the minimal risk of killing you with a car, they would be at sever risk of themselves being shot by any of the other people on the road carrying a gun.
You would be safer if all those drivers going past on that busy road, were instead walking past with a loaded rifle on their shoulder.
When you understand why those drivers do not kill pedestrians … you will understand why I feel safer when surrounded by members of the public carrying guns. (sadly, I live in the UK, so it is a rare sensation of safety for me!)

Glad to see UK in the house! I hope Americans will not lose their right to own a fire arm. It’s the only thing standing in the way of our downfall and subservience. IMO
Yes. Any attempt by the government to take away our guns must be met with those very weapons. That’s why we have the damn things!
They can try, but “beto” has less than a snowballs chance in hell of even thinking they can do it. It will never happen, we won’t let them do it.
Cold, dead hands and all . . .
