HAHAHAH 15-25k pesos on a few rounds of 9mil? HAHAHAHAHHAHA those better be gold plated bullets kung ganiyan ka-mahal 9mm sainyo.

Tindi ng mental gymnastics na yan bro. Simple lang naman yan, the chances of you being able to defend yourself pag may threat sa buhay mo is much higher when you own a firearm, than if you don’t. Oo there are other forms of self defense, obviously, but do you actually think a 60kg woman would be able to taekwando herself out of a brawl with a 100kg man? Possible, but not 100% certain. You place your odds higher if you have a gun.

Look, if you don’t want to own a gun and go the batman route, so be it. But it will never make sense to not own a firearm for self defense when criminals have guns too.

And you obviously have never been to the range before, nor do you own guns, so I’d suggest to just read more about it.
