I’m tired of people saying, “The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.“
Fighting fire with fire never got anything done. It just burned everything down.
It is the same reason why we must never fight hate with hate. Only love can drive out hate.

Only exception: custard. You can fight someone flinging custard with .. well.. custard.

The trick is is to keep the guns out of bad guys hands in the first place.

The “trick” actually is to take assault weapons out of everyone’s hands. ‘Cause you know, everyone is a “ good guy” until their not.

And, sadly, only a Constitutional amendment can change the law. USA is so out of step with western democracies on this one. But please keep it up and change minds.

Have you never heard of starting a back fire to stop an oncoming fire? It is a method used to stop the progtess of a wildfire and is very effective. Sometimes we must fight fire with fire.

Both of your analogies are unhelpful in this context. There are certainly multiple ways to stop people from having guns who are dangerous, and without trampling the 2nd, we should do this. But in the moment, you would desire a gun to defeat another gun.

I'm no stranger to guns of all types and I think all semi automatics should be banned just like fully automatics and the rest STRICTLY regulated. How does that set with you?
