Wolfe and his fiancée, who witnessed the alleged assault, believe the attack was related to Wolfe being transgender, according to court documents.

    Nice try ignoring every point I made. Yes, the risk of being killed with your own weapon IS small. Vanishingly small. And yet you certainly are worried about it happening to a stranger online who is at a much higher risk of being murdered than you are, you average milquetoast liberal. I don’t think you care about the person on the other end at all. Obviously you’re content to ignore the fact that transfolk are assaulted and murdered at wildly higher rates than the average white person. I think you just hate the idea of people using guns to defend themselves.

      It’s not clear to me what point you are making. If you like to fondle guns, then feel free to. But the reality is that owning a gun makes someone dramatically less safe. That’s just a fact.

                You absolutely have not considered different circumstances. If that was true, you’d cite those numbers instead. But no, you conflated the ones convenient to your prejudice and ignored all the ones that threatened it. Your life is safe enough, for now. Nothing of the sort exists for transfolk, and you don’t care.

                  What circumstances are you talking about? You are being very vague. There is no sub-group who are safer owning guns than not. That is very very clear.
