You are utilizing cyclical reasoning… They have guns. This isn’t a debate about whether or not they theoretically should have guns, they already have the guns.

Everyone here would prefer if no one had guns, but that’s not the current reality. Nor is it one a person with a gun is going to accept as an answer from a person without a gun.

If your only rebuttal to the use of hard power against you is ethical rhetoric, you’re not going to have a good time.
