The parent is just exemplifying how in specific situations having a gun with you drastically changes how you are perceived.

No, it's a completely absurd analogy that doesn't even begin to make sense.

  • It does: in context of an active war having a gun won't surprise anyone. In context of arresting someone and seeing a gun on that person makes that person appear lethally dangerous.

    • Why? If you are arrested for a parking ticket do you expect to be shot if you also happened to be carrying? It's understandable if one feels scared of someone wielding a firearm while confronting them. Therefore we should shoot any cops who attempt to come near us since they are armed and getting into an interaction with us and they appear lethally dangerous.
