Damn, seeing you downvoted makes see how sadly opinionated Lemmy is.

Like if you live in a rural area, a firearm is a fantastic and common investment. In rural areas, emergency help is a while away or nonexistent. Animal Control isn’t gonna be there when your chickens are getting snatched by a raccoon or your pets are getting hunted by coyotes. Cops aren’t gonna show up in time if some methhead is bashing down your door.

Plus, with a firearm, you can hunt! Yay for the most ethically sound way of putting meat on your table!

Real, cows gotta learn!
