Whenever I "debate" firearms, I never do so from a position of being able to have my mind changed. It's not because I'm unwilling to understand another person's points or only willing to live in my ideological bubble. It's because for me to change my mind about guns, you'd first have to change human nature.
And since no one on Earth can do that, my position that guns should be plentiful and readily available to all law-abiding citizens will remain fixed.
The nature of all governments is to gradually become tyrannical, including those that claim to be governments for and by the people. This has been a well-known fact for ages. Even Plato asked, "Does not tyranny spring from democracy?"
Funny enough, the people who know this least are the people who are currently watching as their government of the people and by the people sinks further into tyranny. They're so distracted by the overwhelming amount of bread and circuses that they can't see the obvious loss of freedoms happening just above them. The people who see it best are the ones who had been plunged into the final result of totalitarianism and escaped.
This is why you see various clips pop up of people from other countries here in America sounding the alarm bells about what's befalling us. Stories such as Maximo Alvarez, a man whose family had escaped communism and totalitarianism not once, but twice. He told his story at the 2020 Republican National Convention, and, to this day, the speech was so powerful that it's the only one I can remember outside of Kimberly Guilfoyle shouting, "The best is yet to come!"
And then very recently, you had David Hogg getting schooled by a Chinese woman, Lily Tang Williams, who asked Hogg a simple question: "Can you guarantee me, a gun owner tonight, that our government in the U.S., in D.C., will never become a tyrannical government?"
Hogg said he couldn't, prompting Williams to respond simply that there is no debate to be had then.
"Well, then the debate on gun control is over because I will never give up my guns. And you should go to China. Never. Never. And you should go to China to see how gun control works for the dictatorship of the CCP," she said.
David Hogg torched by a Chinese immigrant warning against gun control.

This is what happens when liberals do an open mic. They get wrecked. They can’t defend their positions. pic.twitter.com/aeUGq0ff0c
I had a feeling that my government would become incredibly tyrannical in my lifetime, even from a young age, but what I didn't anticipate was my government becoming tyrannical only as to the law-abiding. Criminals, be they random thugs to illegal aliens, are handled with velvet gloves while citizens who merely speak out against the Democrat Party are tracked down, arrested, and held without trial indefinitely.
Scenes like the one in the video below are becoming all too common. The only solution is the one that appears at the end of the video; a man with a gun.

They only leave when the owner comes out with a gun.

Tyranny is everywhere. If it's not your own government, then it's another government somewhere else who would love to rule over you, too. If it's not a government, then it's a criminal element amongst your own people looking to take advantage of weak laws, weak leaders, and weak people.
There is no debate. Guns are necessary.
I could rattle off facts and figures that prove that guns actually benefit society when used properly by good people. I can show you story after story about how guns saved the lives of innocents or restored order. I can show you historical evidence that guns provide a level of freedom to people that countries with strict gun laws don't have.
But I don't need to. The nature of this world is tyranny and as such, my only recourse to fending it off is to be dangerous and lethal. My guns are not up for debate.
It's my sincerest hope that my government does not become so overtly authoritarian that it requires the blood of tyrants and patriots to tamp back down, but as the founding fathers noted, this is an inevitability. I would rather me, my son, or his sons have the best means to open up the floodgates.
