    So completely irrelevant to the topic that “Needing to have a gun on you just to be prepared for your day is fucked up.”

      Okay, sure. I wish people didn’t steal, kill, and rape too but it happens. Just the reality.

            Instead of arming civilians for vigilantism pressure should be put on the government to deal with the root causes of criminal behaviour.

            As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t the death penalty, but here you are saying a citizen dealing out that punishment without a judge or jury isn’t only acceptable but should be actively encouraged.

              Sure, I advocate for that too. Until then…

              There’s one weird trick to not being shot for stealing shit.
