You’ll never convince the gun super fans that that’s the case.
Without a gun they are convinced they will be victims of a, mentally ill “lone wolf”, “thug”, “gang member” or “terrorist”.
With a gun they can be a hero. The more rational will admit they may still die but they will “go down shooting”.
In reality they may stop an attack or
- They may never have a shot
- They may miss
- They may miss and hit someone else
- They may miss and hit a cop
- They may lose their weapon and be shot with it
- They may be misidentified and shot by police
- They may be misidentified and shot by another gun owner
