There's a saying among the gun fans that "God made Humans, but Smith & Wesson made them equal."
My biggest issue with Mcardle is that her arguments apply also to men who are either old and frail, disabled and frail, or (like me) just Miles-sized. could be, it's a "feminist" thing as a subset of a broader "egalitarian" thing.
Then, there's another saying about how "it's not the size of the warrior in the fight--it's the size of the fight in the warrior". There's a lot of people smaller than me who could probably kick my ass just by virtue of wanting the win more than me.
I'm on the fence about guns. On the one hand, there's some evidence that they're like a cursed talisman such that just possessing one does something to change the owner's personality, not in a good way. On the other hand, if the conservative Christians continue their bid for world domination, I kinda don't want their side to be the only armed side.
