    The ACAB crowd and the “why do you need a gun?” crowd have a large overlapping percentage.

    That’s me, because I’m British. I don’t need the cops NOR a gun to defend myself. Because no one else has a gun, which is the kind of situation I suspect most “you dont need a gun” leftists are arguing for.

      In addition the entire premise is resting on the assumption that you will actually be able to do anything with a gun. In reality the thefts will happen when you are not at home, and statistically speaking having a gun during a robbery makes it more likely that you yourself get hurt.

      Of course having guns for other reasons can make sense, but not in the case that the OP meme stipulates.
