Now imagine if someone came in there with a gun. That would change things. In which direction, I couldn't say.

Sometimes they did. It's not like nobody got shot in the Rwandan genocide. Lots of people did, and when it happened, it went like it almost always does, the people with guns killed a bunch of people with impunity unless the people they were shooting at also happened to have guns.

I'm hearing a lot of things that are true but I'm getting confused as to why they were said. Like what does the Rwandan genocide have to do with the post other than the almost unnerving lack of firearms involved? Ik you aren't the one who brought it up but just had to ask.
