Anglo-American law historically balanced the right of self-defense with a duty to retreat. The US gun lobby has sought to remove this duty with "stand your ground" laws that are licenses (for some but not others) to kill if they feel offended or disrespected. Very Reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Guns inflate the gun wielder's belief in his right to impose his will on the world. A lot of what gun wielders regard as "self defense" is in reality arrogant aggression. https://t.co/gpW6t3F2tH https://t.co/414aK33rbN — PolitiTweet.org

The Americans were horrified. They (all men) regarded it as emasculating to need permission from a wife/girlfriend to bring a gun into a shared home. Which tells you a lot about what this debate is really about: intimidation, domination, and control. — PolitiTweet.org

I once horrified a group of US gun owners by telling them in Canada a would be owner must obtain a declaration from his/her partner that the partner is comfortable with a weapon in the home. If police doubt the letter, they'll come interview the partner in person. — PolitiTweet.org

Deaths however hardly begin to measure the gun toll. Shattering, life-wrecking wounds and disabilities; childhood traumas; women terrorized by partners and ex-partners - that's part of the cot of the choice made for Americans by the gun-wielding minority. — PolitiTweet.org

The odds of an American dying by gun are about 1 in 315. If those were the odds of winning a lottery, we'd all be rich. Instead, Americans must live with a preventable fear suffered nowhere else in the developed world. https://t.co/YSlmDb1c51 — PolitiTweet.org
