 Reposting because there is a compromise where people can still try all the cool guns they want without gutting gun control laws and glorifying gun culture I still think only one gun is necessary for self defense and it honestly shouldn’t leave the home

And before I get any snarky comments no I’m not bashing hunters, I know the important role they play in regulating our wildlife populations

Genuinely wondering what you think the "one gun" could be

You’re half right. Glorifying gun culture is weird, and breeds false security that leads to unsafe gun practices. And half right that realistically only one gun can serve all general self defense purposes. You’re incorrect in when you say they should be kept at home. It’s more likely one would need to defend themselves in public than at home (mugging, assaults, etc are more common than home invasions while you’re home). Just educate yourself on safe carrying practices FIRST

Typical range day sees a lot more than 3 guns even disregarding the argument that you would need a lot more than 3 for a humane kill on a wide range of species (sure you could do rifle, shotgun, pistol but unless you're specializing in squirrel you aren't going to pick 22 for your own rifle and may want to shoot a squirrel for pest control)

There's also the argument with homemade guns that you would be limiting the form of expression of designing your own firearm and therefore subverting your 1st amendment rights

Esp women. Stop wasting money on “self defense keychains”. Buy a gun. Get classes on how to safely carry, use, and maintain your gun. You know what will stop an assault? Guns. You know what won’t? The $120 keychain you bought off Etsy with a cheap pointy bit and a whistle.

There's like 4 rules to gun safety and you didn't even list a single one

My bad I didn’t include a gun safety course in the 120 character limit comment on YikYak. You can go right on ahead and list them though if it’s that important to you. I’ll wait until you’re finished

1) Only point the muzzle at something you are trying to destroy or kill 2) Always assume a firearm to be loaded and verify that it is not if you wish it to be unloaded 3) Know your target and importantly what lays beyond it (especially if using target rounds or other fmj/penetrator like green tip) 4) Only ever put your finger on the trigger directly before firing I stretched them out for greater detail but you could have said it in much less words

Thank you for this excellent contribution to this comment section! I hope everyone takes note of these standards and maintains these practices if and when they choose to become a carrier
