Who is “the stronger” in a situation where you have a gun and someone else does not?

Me.

And my wife, and daughter. People that, without the use of arms, will always be the weaker given it’s usually men who commit these crimes.

You’re missing the point - this tool takes physical strength out of the equation for self defense purposes and you’re acting like it’s a bad thing.

Ah, so what you mean is that it’s okay for the strong to take advantage of the weak when you’re the strong one.

No he’s saying that weapons permit people to be equally strong.

Without weapons, big people get to control smaller people. With weapons, a person gets to modify their own susceptibility to being controlled.

I’m guessing you’re a rather large person if you don’t understand this.

Please define “take advantage of” in your comment. The entirety of my comments here have been in a self defense context. I don’t see how my owning and carrying a gun means I’m “taking advantage of” anyone.
