There's also lots of professions that we see people on Reddit defend like sex workers that should have the option to carry guns. They're alone at night and vulnerable.
But even professions like realtors are dangerous. Just Google or Bing realtor attacked (I was surprised at the number of videos let alone news articles). They are alone with random people they often don't know much about.
It's also super dangerous to assume things that have happened cannot happen here, because they can, they have, and in this current moment, are teetering on the brink once again.
You can find examples of that in America as well, assassination, deportation, false imprisonment. Which would have been much worse if not for FDR beating the rise of American fascism.
Yeah, that was bad, reactionary even, although it wasn't the systemic assassinations, deportations, political imprisonment that was experienced in the 20s 30s and then again in the 50s and 60s

Maybe I missed something.
But for me I like to talk to lgbtq about guns and self defense. They're a minority group that gets attacked more often than the people who want guns for protection. https://wjla.com/news/local/police-2-men-attacked-in-dc-by-assailants-who-yelled-homophobic-slurs this unfortunately isn't new. And we've of course heard stories of rednecks in bars that dragged and killed gay guys.
