I've been around long enough to remember gunkid from the very beginning. Very entertaining he was.

Then what's the point of him taking marital arts if he's too scared to use it. I think he needs to believe in himself more.

he knew that it is better to have other sorts of self defense, rather than having to rely on only one.

natalie, do you have any meaningful experience in combat arts, self defense, firearms, use of force, etc.?

he is not deflecting at all, you want people without firearms and to use martial arts to protect themselves and to stop being cowards. guess you do not like people in wheelchairs or amputees to be able to protect themselves. it will be hard for someone bound to a wheelchair or missing limbs to use martial arts for self protection.

guess you include these people in your coward group.

You and others suggest that everyone should
be able to defend themselves unarmed. No?
