Unhappy Tools | Starfish Cosmology

Excellent article, putting well a number of thoughts I have been thinking myself...

..."My conclusion on the safety issue is that gun ownership promotes a fantasy of empowerment, of ability to protect “what’s mine” rather than any actual increase in safety, even if we factor out the increased risks."...

..."The idea that legal ownership of weapons would give people the ability to resist a hypothetical military coup or foreign invasion is laughable."...

..."Beyond that, I don’t mind saying that people who want to be able to make an armed resistance to the government frighten me far more than the government does."...
