Constantly see people online talk about "when the robber comes thru my door" or whatever, and some of it is memes, but a lot of it is just people legit discussing what the "best weapon" to fight robbers breaking into your house at night would be - Giving it so much thought as if it is a legitimate concern. So is it? Does it happen a lot?

An armed proletariat should probably take the form of an organized and coordinated militia, with everyone trained on how to use their weapons and checks on their health to ensure they're able. Randomly strewn about weapons purchased on credit for anyone who shows up to a gun store seems bad.

Ideally, but under no pretext and all of that. I was mostly just stating that I didn't support blanket gun bans though I have to admit I don't really trust Americans with them
