I wanted to reply specifically to this notion in this thread.
The low end consumer are exactly the people who will benefit from gun ownership the most. There are way, way more “low end consumers” who just want to be left alone physically than there are “low end consumers” who want to use guns to take something from someone else.
Guns are the only thing keeping our women from being nearly helpless. I could go on and on about other benefits of guns, but that’s good enough reason for me.
Like most progressive policies, progressive gun policies work to the detriment of normal everyday people who would just like to have access to the only “fire extinguisher” that reliably works on violent people.
Of course, no progressive gun policy would even slightly deprive a single elite person from armed protection.
