Why should law-abiding citizens have to give up their right to defend themselves because criminals commit crimes?

[amrocha]

Because it’s a stupid law that was thought of 200 years ago when there were actual reasons to have guns, whereas today you’d be safer without one

This is absolutely not the case unless you believe what happened in China, Russia and Cambodia in the 20th century, governments murdering hundreds of millions of their own people, somehow magically cannot happen again. Orders of magnitudes more people have been killed by their own government when they lacked any means to defend themselves than have been killed by school shooters or armed criminals.
