Most gun owners believe that those statistics don't apply to them. I believe they do apply to me (since I do live with a gun owner).
I agree that resistance is unlikely to primarily take the form of infantry combat, but it wouldn't surprise me if some communities do have to repel an armed force, which will be much more difficult without at least some community members having access to and proficiency with small arms.
I believe once you tease the causes behind the stats apart.... you'll find most leftists work to ameliorate those issues.
Like firing pin buddies was something I first learned about in the SRA. Not my hunting club.
And the no booze or intoxicants in use while firearms are out of cases.
Etc etc
Yeah, that's fair. I usually don't talk gun politics anyway because of all the insurmountable issues the US faces, that's probably the most insurmountable.
