    In civilized countries “self defense” means you might have to punch someone. “You should have an easy way to kill someone on you at all times, and keep it hidden so they don’t know” is not self defense, but clear signs of a dystopia.

      My back is fucked and have an 80% rating from the VA. I’m not getting into fist fights anymore.

      If someone gets blown away stealing shit, the world has become a better place, frankly.

        “Property is more valuable than human lives.”
        A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…

              And without one, the stronger will always prevail over the weak. I can’t believe I need to spell this out.

                  Me.

                  And my wife, and daughter. People that, without the use of arms, will always be the weaker given it’s usually men who commit these crimes.

                  You’re missing the point - this tool takes physical strength out of the equation for self defense purposes and you’re acting like it’s a bad thing.

                    Ah, so what you mean is that it’s okay for the strong to take advantage of the weak when you’re the strong one.
