I’m not at all agreeing with you, and this attempt at feigning agreement is disturbing.
All I’m trying to say is that the presence of a gun has both positive and negative effects.
For the Left a gun is always Bad.
For many on the Right it appears a gun is always Good.
Seems to me, like almost everything else in life, guns have both Good and Bad effects. The question is not whether both exist, it’s whether the Good outweighs the Bad.
Which a gun in the hands of a law-abiding and properly trained citizen or cop usually does. But that doesn’t mean the Bad vanishes, that sometimes the Bad outweighs the Good in a particular situation, or that the presence of a gun doesn’t drastically alter the ways a confrontation might play out.
