Gun Control & RKBA

Seems to me that the victim is still here and the armed robber who initiated the deadly confrontation is not. I suppose I'll be seeing some threads from you soon that are lamenting the dangers of living the life of the violent criminal, right?

The indisputable fact is that if you choose to be compliant in the face of a deadly threat from a violent, armed attacker, you're allowing that attacker to decide whether you live or die. And we've all seen the graphic videos depicting the very real consequences for many victims who do choose compliance. Sometimes they're left uninjured and are out only their property, but other times they're beaten, brutalized, or murdered.

If you really cared about the lives of these armed robbers who find themselves dead on a slab at the hands of their victim, you'd be advocating for us to address the root causes of violent crime in the first place: poverty and wealth disparity, systemic racism and oppression, chronic addiction, the war on drugs, lack of mental health care, and an underfunded education system.
