    So is your argument everyone should have guns? Because the people wanting to murder you for no reason will have access to them too. I doubt they will invade your home to kill you if they can only get a kitchen knife in stores as a weapon.

    How often are people being hunted and killed for just being who they are? Are there actual groups who specifically home invade to kill LGBTQIA+? I knew the US was fucked up, but I haven’t heard of actual death squads.

      It’s common enough that it’s a viable legal defense for murder.

      My argument is that as long as the people who want me dead have guns, I should probably have a gun as well. This goes double for my trans brothers and sisters. In a perfect world, nobody would have guns. In a perfect world, cancer wouldn’t exist. But Americans have guns, and cancer exists, so we should quit smoking and remain armed for now.
