Defending yourself from individual harm is not the same as defending your community
I never said it was the same. (I wish I had a community that would help defend me as I helped defend them. ) I'm actually amazed I'm being mocked for this here.
I agree with all of that. What I was saying is that someone who is not in a community is not just engaging in "consumerism" (which is what zifnab25 was implying) by wanting a gun to protect themselves from very real threats where having one could save their life.
