If I’m out with my toddler and a lunatic comes at us with a knife, I shouldn’t have to waste time (while under an adrenaline rush) calculating whether I have a chance to escape before shooting to defend my little girl and myself.
If it’s “racist” to require voter ID, what do you call a CCW process that requires a police interview, training course, fingerprinting, sometimes a psych exam, as much as two years wait time, and costs up to $2,000?
When you hear on the news that a mass shooting has occurred, what’s the first thing that comes to mind?
Common use of AR-15s for self-defense can be the secondary argument, but the primary argument should be that common bearable arms that are useful in combat are the most protected of all, as all of the historical commentary confirms.
It’s important to be precise in describing these issues. Defining the problem as simply “gun violence is the number one cause of death in children and teens” is at best vague, and at worst propagandistic and intentionally misleading.
