In this case, I find it unlikely that you'd find comfort in that you'd have been less likely to be murdered in a country without guns if you had lived. |
Do you have any idea how idiotic that sounds?
You'd much prefer to have a gun to defend yourself against other people with guns, in a country in which you're considerably
more likely to be murdered specifically because it has so many guns, than not to have a gun to defend yourself in a country where you're far
less likely to be murdered by people with guns because there's far fewer guns.
That's like saying you'd rather have an SUV, even though it increases you're chances of dying in an accident, because you'd stand a better chance if you hit a small car, in which you'd actually have less of a chance of dying in an accident.
Or like saying that you won't wear seat belts because they make it harder to get out of a burning car, even though wearing them vastly increases your chances of surviving in the first place.
