    You don’t overthrow armies by lining up and going toe-to-toe.

    A handgun is concealable. If we need guns, we need to appear anonymous until we’re using them up close.

    And you don’t target soldiers. You target those behind them.

      We need to widely allow handguns because of all the progress that’s constantly made from assassinating politicians with handguns?

      Please do list all the politicians assassinated by handguns and how much progress that made. I’ll follow with a list of activists murdered by handguns.

      Let’s see whose is longer.

        That’s the thing about guns. They’re evil until they’re necessary. But then they’re essential.

        We still aren’t at the point where we need to start using them en masse, but we’ve never been closer as a nation, and it’s absolutely time to start learning how to use them.

          Please cite the incidents in which owning a personal pistol has been essential and why. I will follow with a list of political activists who have been assassinated with pistols owned by idiots.

          Let’s see whose is longer.
