And yet you get a gun and the person that gun is far and away most likely to kill is you or someone in your family.

Your post has a ton of fallacies. Are you going to constantly carry your gun? You still think it will protect you if someone has the drop on you? The amount of cowboy situations where guns actually will help are pretty small.

When the police department is defunded in your town, you better hope you have a weapon.

What would he cite? That there's police departments being defunded in USA right now?

His insinuation seems that crime would immediately (eventually?) spike up once police doesnt have the same financial means. So a citation that says lower police funding correlates to higher crime (specifically at current levels of police funding) would help.
