It’s a murder fetish. Flat out. They can hem and haw all they want, the end goal of owning a gun is murder.
“what if someone robs you?!”
So what, take my wallet with no cash and a card that’ll get locked. Take my phone and watch that are locked and my phone is set to factory reset after a few wrong codes. I can replace them.
“What if someone breaks into your house?!”
It’s just stuff. 🤷 They don’t want my fireproof document safe they want my consoles and pcs. My pcs are all backed up off site and the drives are encrypted.
In both cases I have serial numbers etc of everything also saved off site to report them stolen.
I put life over stuff. If you gotta pull a gun on me and demand my wallet you’re CLEARLY having a worse day than I am. If I do have cash whatever take my $50 idgaf 🤷
That’s kinda my thoughts on the matter. I have a couple rifles and shot guns that are mostly just family heirlooms, and one rifle that’s explicitly for protection.
Unfortunately i live in one of the most dangerous states in the south, and I’m a minority married to a white woman. When all the racist people in the state were getting all crazy during the trump years, I decided having a rifle that wasn’t an antique was probably a good idea.
But it’s pretty much explicitly for protecting my family and friends from the potential of eventual racial violence. I would actually feel kinda bad for anyone who actually tried to rob my house, there’s just nothing to really steal. Definitely nothing worth dying or killing for. Hell I’d probably make a pretty good return on the insurance claim.
