    There’s also laws governing what constitutes theft. Your entire argument about needing a gun is dependent on people not following the law.

        The people with guns are different people and not me. Why should I trust them?

          I mean, I don’t require your trust.

          But consider the consequences if I misuse my gun. They’re quite a lot more serious than those caught stealing.

            I agree with you completely.

              I mean yeah. The thing about carrying a gun gun is that if you use it, you’re going to get arrested, probably. Even if it’s self defense.

                Oh no, I meant the consequences for other people when he misuses his gun are much more severe than the consequences for other people if someone steals from them.
