It's a good thought and you're not even wrong. I used to think the same way.
Then tens of millions of people voted for Trump not once, not twice, but THREE times.
Trump lost, fascists threatened civil war, J6 happened... Trump STILL got re-elected, and pretty much on day one he sent the message loud and clear that his violent fascist foot-soldiers can count on getting pardons if they commit violence in his name.
Now consider how many of those violent fascists have guns.
Still feel safe without guns?
