      It also increases your own chances of getting shot. Heck, i suppose it increases everyone’s chances of getting shot! 🥂

      This is the dumbest statement ever. You have to have a gun to use it. So yes, carrying one increases that chance. Just like my chances of microwaving popcorn increases when I have fucking popcorn in the pantry.

        It’s really not that dumb and your analogy is bad.

        If it was normal to buy popcorn and never eat it then it would make sense. Obviously most people who buy guns never kill anyone with them and you can carry it and not use it
