having a gun to defend yourself from someone with a gun works

No, it's that it grants you the opportunity to defend yourself, not that you can.

(more guns reducing gun crime)

That is not what that means. Nowhere is that claimed. Maybe ask ChatGPT to rephrase it for you.

You’re unable to come up with a response to my argument so you try to discredit me by claiming I used AI to write it?

That’s not just a lazy and unintelligent rebuttal but it’s just sad too.

Can you respond to something without a strawman?

That is not what I said. I told you to ask ChatGPT to rephrase the initial point for you. Y'know so you could understand it instead of strawmanning it.

Why would I spend the time having a discussion with you when you accuse me of using ChatGPT then don’t even have the balls to stand behind your claim?

Have a nice day, I’m not putting anymore effort into this conversation.

Yeah, I thought this was just bad faith, but now it's clearly entirely malicious. I'm not a pro at phrasing, but I clearly said rephrase it FOR YOU.

You maliciously interpreted what OP said, where they never said anything about crime rates, just about ability to defend oneself. You maliciously interpreted the analogy about how a pilots license increases your risk of dying in a plane crash not because riding on a plane is more dangerous when you have pilots license but because of other behaviors that a pilots license correlates with.
