You were the one trying to suggest only two options.
Well I have, and have chosen to own and carry guns, and teach about them to my children, like my forefathers did for me. I have a long family history that with no issues, which I'm told is a Non-Sequitur.
The issue for me has not been whether you should be able to have a gun, but about whether having a gun for safety is really making one safer. People have brought up some evidence, but you don't want to address that. Getting caught up in a mass shooting is extremely rare possibility that you focus on while ignoring all the other possibilities that go into having a gun.
I'm not interested in others facts and others making decisions for me as to my own safety. You known, those freedoms I keep talking about which many have died for to preserve and yet Mak/others view as naïve and stupid.
You are usually better then this, but bias is keeping you from being interested in facts. These people didn't die to protect some right to a particular gun. They died for things of real importance. Society has rights and why it bans possession of many things like machine guns, grenades, etc for the safety of society.
