If they come to face her, it will only be with an AK-47. And at that point, no debates will help. Only another AK-47 would. Maybe there is a lesson there.
aren't ready to acknowledge that your defence is ultimately your responsibility & no one else's. There's a serious problem with your value system & thought process. The debate of acquiring means of self defence comes far after. We've to wriggle out of our psychological knots 1st.
be prepared to face & overcome violence. Man made institutions like the State can only offer limited macro deterrence. It is foolish to think that they cover for all individuals at all places and times. The history of mankind should have taught us that much at least. If you
The issue runs deeper than just Arms acts or availability of weapons. It is of an escapist human psyche that keeps yearning for an excuse to outsource the ab initio responsibility of self protection. It has never worked and never will. You have to accept it,
Such head-in-sand societies want to falsely believe that they can somehow circumvent violence forever & everywhere. Guess what, you can't. There is literally no way to completely prevent or circumvent violence ever. Neither in wildlife nor in human societies.

@Lonerover9@IndiansForGuns There are no sweet end results to such extreme scenarios. That doesn't mean we don't arm ourselves. There are diseases like cancer that beat all treatments. Doesn't mean we don't take treatments on any disease at all. 1/2
@Lonerover9@IndiansForGuns Main objective is preventive deterrence. If that fails, push comes to shove? Use the same arms to fight, that's it. Hindu psyche has been dulled into aversion from arms; a taboo!
Self protection is a right as well as responsibility. We've outsourced it & are now sitting ducks.
@Lonerover9@IndiansForGuns What makes you think they do not and will not get kalashnikovs from the black market. Do one thing, dig online on the quality and variety that black market offers, it will put the likes of OFB to shame. 1/2
