How do some liberals/Democrats protect themselves without a gun?

[Suburbia]

Some American observers say that most gun owners in America are Republicans, Independents and some Democrats.

Most law-abiding American gun owners have a gun for protection and for hunting, while some sick people use it mainly for killing. 

How do the rabid anti-gun liberals and Democrats protect themselves, this is a serious question. Do they rely on the police (law enforcement), which some of them despise due to racial profiling, police brutality?

Or do some of them use baseball bats, etc. as protection?

America isn't some peace-loving nation. We have dangerous people and we should have handguns for protection.

But back to the question, how do some liberals and Democrats protect themselves?

I have a gun.  Actually, I own more than one.  I also own many pocket knives.

No sensible person is calling for a ban on all guns.  What we want are assault weapons bans, better background checks, raising the age from 18 to 21, etc.

Gun control does not mean taking away people's guns.  Guns should be available for purchase, but that doesn't mean it needs to be anywhere near as easy as it is currently to purchase one.  We are pro-2nd amendment.  Military grade weapons shouldn't be available; AR-15's shouldn't be available; background checks should be more extensive; people with mental illness shouldn't be allowed to purchase; an 18 year old high school student shouldn't be allowed to buy one; there should be some kind of training required or some way that you can show you know how to respect, handle, and operate a firearm.  There's more steps you have to go thru in order to legally drive a car.

Seriously, what does your side not understand about this?

I agree with you, I want an assault weapons ban now, but I hope some liberals don't overreach on gun control.

One of the first things I did when I got my own apartment and turned 21 was purchase a gun for my home.

I also wouldn't need a gun if we punished private sellers for not conducting background checks and moving guns in bulk from states/counties with lax gun laws into urban centers.

Excellent! It keeps you safe and secure. Did you do gun training?

Never touched a gun (beyond a little bit of target shooting in Scouts) and never will. The idea of needing "protection" is just not something that has entered my mind. Possibly one of those brain chemistry differences between conservatives and liberals.

You think the world is a playground of peace, don't you?

I think that liberals in general are afraid of guns, soldiers, police, businessmen, etc. Most liberals are afraid of guns because it scares them. Some of them just use it on GOP congressman like Scalise because because they despise them. Oh well. Let the NRA and the liberals fight. I won't mind seeing Civil War II spill on the streets.  America is divided, let's see the war in the streets.
