Multiple assailants?  I promise you this, if multiple assailants come at you, all you need to do is threaten to shoot one and most will back off.  If there are more than 10 then you are f'd (even if you have a weapon with a mag with more than 10 bullets).

Is Rwoy a perfect shot somehow, capable of taking down 10 mobile adult men with 10 bullets, or does he have experience in this manner?

Are private sector citizens supposed to gamble their lives and the lives of their women and children on this theory?

"Their women and children"? You refer to them as one would a piece of land or a house - as chattel.

"Ten mobile adult men"? The image you conjure up is one of urban gang violence - one we unconsciously but inevitably associate with black, hypersexualized, undisciplined, acutely menacing bodies.

And then you refer to "private sector citizens": defined, by your own syntactic implications, as the rational, disciplined antithesis and counterpart to these two groups. Gun ownership is important here: it represents the efficient, calculated use of deadly force against savagery as well as the political "organ" of American frontier masculinity.

You've managed to neatly distill centuries of bigotry into two sentences. As Americans, we're all burdened with these racist and sexist fantasies, but that doesn't mean that it's all right to give them credence in an argument as you have.
