Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

People with knives can kill much more than just one person. I was reading a story a few days ago about a village somewhere in SEA where a man killed his family and neighbors long before anyone ever got to him.
Likewise countries with high gun ownership can also not have frequent mass killings. What you're really describing there is just America.
An armed populace can do more to resist a fascist or otherwise oppressive government than an unarmed one. As a minority who has historically (and contemporarily in other countries) been persecuted by the state for the crime of existing, I don't feel comfortable leaving my life in their fickle hands.
