That's what it's always about.
Never mind actually being safe.
Most conservatives would “feel” safer in the company of ten random neighbors walking around armed than in the company of ten cops.
Good catch. For the left, feelings are what matters, not logic, not results.
Our prisons are huge, the staff well paid, and their political clout is unmatched- literal king-makers. This goombah/ gambino, uses his Family concern for the benefit of us all to climb the political ladder.
Trouble is: this fat cat can't provide insurance, you know, like la familia could. 'Till then, a person should provide their own. "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure."
The Framers knew this, that's why they wrote the 2nd ammendment.
"A well regulated militia, necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Sounds all-military and that, which it is, since 'the people' would reserve the 'right' to bear arms against a tyrannical government (state or federal, boys and girls) while at the same time, enjoying the freedom to blow holes in those intent upon applying their own mini tyranny on the public in the form of rape, robbery, home invasion, fraud, theft, etc.
Ain't freedom grand? As it pertains the right to bear arms, California and it's many 'representatives' simply suck dick. Feinstein, Boxer, and everyone else on the Left blow and blow. But, what good is that? Has no one ever been robbed while being head-bobbed by Diane or Barbara? What kind of deterrence is that?
"Give me your wallet!".
"Hey, I don't have to because Diane is busy, or didn't you notice?"
"I'm sorry, man. I didn't."
"Get your crack-ass oughta here before I call Barbara Boxer- and she sucks the crime out of the city!"
"Hey, don't do that man. Don't do that! I'm outta here, ok?"
"Damn right, you are!"
