guns

And when the gun comes out you are many times more likely to be killed.

This is ultimately dependent on the situation. Pulling a gun on a nervous mugger? Absolutely increasing the chances of being killed.

Holing up your bedroom and pointing a shotgun at a door that will be kicked in? High chance of the firearm saving your life if the person on the other side intends deadly harm.

I agree that access to firearms does increase the chances of it being used in anger against others, or against yourself if suicidal, as I mentioned in my previous post. But you're not addressing that the apparatus in the US designed to help people in those rare dangerous situations are deeply flawed, and can in fact be as deadly as the threat you are calling them to help against, depending on your own skin color and disposition of your local police department.

I think in Europe and Japan, where there seems to be less of a chance of those specific problems within the police, the argument against gun ownership is stronger. But personally I think the argument for the populace to disarm before solving the problems of those institutions is not one I can get behind.

I would also say it's not a great idea to disarm if your government is actively turning toward becoming a fascist totalitarian state, which the US currently is.
