There's also laws governing what constitutes theft. Your entire argument about needing a gun is dependent on people not following the law.

[–] capital@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah the people stealing shit are... different people and not me?

What is your point?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The people with guns are different people and not me. Why should I trust them?

[–] capital@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, I don't require your trust.

But consider the consequences if I misuse my gun. They're quite a lot more serious than those caught stealing.

I agree with you completely.

I mean yeah. The thing about carrying a gun gun is that if you use it, you’re going to get arrested, probably. Even if it’s self defense.

Oh no, I meant the consequences for other people when he misuses his gun are much more severe than the consequences for other people if someone steals from them.
