2A, if you had no guns, and the criminals had no guns, what would be the problems for you in that case?
Because his sword might be bigger than mine. If he wants to kill me he'll do it, I'd rather have the upper hand on defending myself. I don't want it to be a fair fight.
And if his gun is the same, or bigger? What's your advantage now?
The advantage is the same.......I can hurt him as easily as he can hurt me....he has no advantage in the ability to injure or kill.....a 9mm is as deadly as a .357 when it hits a body....and if I have a 9 and he has a .357.....he knows I can kill him too........it is not the same if we are both unarmed....then if he is younger, bigger, stronger, more aggressive, on drugs or has a knife, or a club....he has the advantage..
Have you ever studied self defense?
