5. Can the posters above explain how a gun would help?

I'm not being sarcastic or obtuse. Were you thinking about ICE; active shooters; civil war; violent right wingers near you, your home or your family; crime and break-ins?

I'm perplexed because I'm guessing your gun would be of moderate capacity particularly if you are older (I don't know guns and have never touched one, but imagine higher capacity firearms are an armful to operate). What would that do against armed ICE agents or armed right-wingers who probably have the highest capacity firearms they can obtain. If crime is a concern, would a gun in locked safe be accessible quickly enough to repel armed criminals? I'm asking in earnest because I personally think more arms escalate several of the scenarios I presented. Please help me understand/educate me. THANKS!
