Guns
Spinoff from the abortion thread. I posted in there but decided it would be best just to new thread it

It's less of a concern here in the UK of course, but even then I think I'd feel vulnerable without some form of defence. But then again I'm not a big guy and do not have an intimidating presence.
Why do you do this? Serious question. I find it odd that you'd do a risky job for nothing. Is this because it will look good on your CV or resume or whatever you guys calls it? Or because you want to help protect vulnerable women from nasty pasties like these old men with nothing better to do?

The US would be a much safer place if the police force was disbanded. Why? Because we have guns. Guess who never gets their shit broken into? People in Montana with rifles. Guess who gets their shit broken into all the time? People in New York where the only law is cops that are an hour away from any potential crime scene
This is something I may or may not believe. I'm inclined to believe it, but not positive
