Here’s the thing:

The analogy isn’t
weapon :: seat belt

it is
personal defense readiness :: seat belt

the nut of the analogy is:

Preventing undesirable outcomes from unlikely but plausible adverse events
—-

Now, if you don’t agree with the analogy, that’s OK and I recognize your point about body armor

that does not mean the analogy itself is weak and tbh i don’t think there’s a lot of mileage to be got from continuing to assert that

An analogy is what it is. Something is either a strong analogy, a weak analogy, or not analogous at all. Seatbelt = gun is a weak analogy.
 
The analogy is weak or strong based on logic as a discipline. The analogy doesn’t care how well it supports your argument.

It's also dependent on the type of gun owner each person is.

For every one responsible gun owner with proper training,
there's at least one other bozo packing - along with whatever crime might occur.

I've known way too many bozos over the years for the seat belt analogy to work well.

I live in a constitutional carry state. The majority of people I encounter any given day has at least one gun in their vehicle. Not all of them should.

I’ve only met a handful of people in my life that I am glad that they conceal carry everyday, everywhere that will allow them to. I’d feel safer to be in a crowd knowing they were nearby. Only 3 or 4 people.

And what is it that you think you have?

I have realistic and pratical understanding of the concept of preparedness. Which, contrary to what you and your twat voices want to think, is what my argument is about. I get it, the only concept of preparedness you understand is making sure you have enough tampons in your purse before you go clubbing. So I'll cut you some slack.

Sure is! What's your point, Baiter?

My point is, you don’t know what constitutes a strong analogy. You may like the analogy, because it supports your view. But that doesn’t make it a strong analogy.

You haven't proven that it's a weak analogy. Not in the context that it's being discussed. So maybe if you do..
