Reply to comment by Past-Adhesiveness150 in How dangerous is Natick to walk alone as a young woman? (Specifically the area near the West Natick T station) by wothrowmeawaybaebae

That old adage that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun? It's pretty much been disproven by now.

Your privilege is showing

Please tell Op how you'd stop a group of drunk rapey guys at night, when no1 wants to get involved. Call the police? Get an Uber? Or would you not put yourself in that situation?

My privilege? Whatever the hell that means. Can you say Uvalde? Or the Walmart in El Paso? Or any number of other times where having a gun did no good? Or maybe I should quote gun death stats to you, including intentional, accidental and suicide. Pepper spray? Sure. Gun? No

Can you guess why you never hear about good people with guns, stopping mass shootings? It's because they don't end up being mass shootings. 1 happened a few months ago.

Guessing it doesn't make great ratings either.
