If one of these people gets shot from a distance and people say “what a pussy, didn’t even attempt to defend himself”, it’s to point out how dishonest their rhetoric

That’s a decent point, noted.

But given my reply also includes comparisons to Superman and the Flash, and I presume one of them couldn’t dodge it, then I’m sort of supporting the taking that shitty rhetoric to the absurd, even though I may have been too stoned to get the first as a complete joke.

Sacha Baron Cohen gets tons of respect for me, that shit he pulled was actually dangerous.

and therefore it’s completely trivial to protect yourself. It’s not.

100% agree. I enjoy guns and I waa in the military but I probably wouldn’t get my own gun licence currently due to some doagnosis I have. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Because while I might consider myself a responsible person, I know tons of others are. One friend had his guns taken away due to always getting into fights in bars. And that’s fucking right.

I can stand up to people on the street because I don’t have to worry about them literally murdering me with a few flicks of their finger.
