Lots of people compensate with different things. Guys want to feel tough so they get guns. Guys want to seem cool so they get a fast car. Guys want to look rich so they wear a lot of bling. Guys want to look tough so they get tattoos. Girls want to feel sexy so they dress like tramps. Some people want to feel smart so they get a bogus degree.
I don't believe in domestic violence at any level. I will not allow physical aggression in my home or my personal life ever. I grew up in a peaceful home environment and have zero tolerance for any aggressive behavior. No one would threaten me in my home, it's supposed to be the safe place. Abusers look for women from abusive homes who think violence is normal. If you demand respect, you will receive respect.
Is every act of domestic violence a life or death situation?? I'd bet the majority are not.
Most are not, for sure. I think most men are cool. That said, in general, men have more of a tendency to get physical when they hear uncomplimentary things being said. I have no idea if it's some gut reaction or what. Some men feel threatened right away with any little thing.
Agreeing to have guns in the house is about the dumbest thing a woman can do. If the man is one that doesn't handle arguments or temper well, the man will know where that gun is located, and it's no secret that it's generally men, and not women, that shoot people. It's one thing to get punched, and another to get shot.
I think the best bet if a man is a loose cannon, is to dump the a-h and go hide in the abused women underground railroad. Take off. Leave. But for God's sake, to have a gun in the house? Dumb idea.

I don't tolerate violence either, but if someone I care about takes a swing at me, my first reaction is not to pull a gun on them. You seem to live in a black and white world in which you either pull a gun on someone or you lay down and take the beating.

someone you care about and some unknown person is 2 different things. I know the difference even when you dont.

Maybe you aren't a tiny woman with a bad neck who can be killed with one good swing. No one I care about would ever raise a hand to me. It's just not that kind of environment. I use guns for sporting and protection from "bad" people, it doesn't occur to me to use them against my own friends or family because there would be no need. I feel bad for people who have domestic violence in their lives but it is preventable to some extent.
