lel when you conscript your entire population, "gun control" doesn't mean much. The control is elsewhere at that point
I was thinking more along the lines of hearing repeated stories of defenseless families being slaughtered in their homes. The visceral impact would inspire the wish to at least "take one of them out with you" when your loved ones are about to be killed. These repeated stories and images also must shake people's faith in trusting your government to protect you.
At least I hope so.

Worst case scenario you can take yourself out rather than getting butchered by the butchers. I don't mean to be dark but I would rather go on my own terms.

Exactly. You can blast the guy in front of you and get in the way of your wife and kids. Who knows? You or them might get lucky. That split second between hunting and being hunted ratchets up the stress level, causing mistakes.

Self defense is a natural right.
Gun control is an invasion of a natural or inalienable right.

Guns at home would have saved some lives for these people who got attacked by Hamas when there was no miliary around yet. One couple, who had guns, that way saved their kids lives, hiding them in shelter, and managed to kill seven attackers before got killed.
