Why do gun lovers think their right to own a weapon supercedes everyone else's right to be safe and not be shot?

We UNDERSTAND parking laws, noise ordinances, etc IN the city.
Oh, NOW YOU want a gun too? GTFOH.
If you are dumb enough to trespass, you could be shot or gored or break an ankle stepping into a rabbit or gopher hole or get bitten by a Mojave Green rattlesnake.

Why do you city folk have a problem with our use of guns for livestock and wildlife management?
There are 0 homes (other than our own farm house) within a rifle shot of anything that we shoot ever.
We shoot RODENTS, NOT SNAKES (ever). Snakes are beneficial; while rodents (and city folk) are not.

For rabbits, we go a bit larger in slug size and these can be legit dangerous to a humans. The same HW97k break barrel loves to sling heavy slugs as the rabbits are tough to take out, even with a .22 slug. Also the Ruger .22 ranch rifle is barely large enough for rabbit hunting but is a bit too much to blast a squirrel with. We do not want bullets flying around the farm. The idea of shooting is to use the RIGHT size pellet or bullet for the problem, NOT to leave lead shrapnel and shredded dead rodent bits sprayed all over our food crops. Have shot rabbit with too small of a round. Watching an animal suffer & writhe in pain is not worth it. A .25Cal is what is normally considered an “ethical” round for killing rabbits.
Snakes won’t chase you. Just leave them alone.
The small air rifle pellets and small caliber ranch rifle bullets that rid us of the smallest rodents this for us are small enough to only hurt a person but not likely kill a human unless it hit a vital area. Mostly we carry .22 HW97k break barrel spring-piston rifles or GK1 .25cal pistols which we use small pellets for small rodents. These are near daily rodent plinkers that we carry around while we farm. Still would not want to be shot with one; because it would do damage not to mention the lead in bullets & pellets are quite unhealthy.
What are your controversial and hot takes on Naruto?
What farming folks like me do not understand is why propagandized city folk cannot see (or think) beyond their concrete jungle.
If you are unsafe: it is not our guns that made you so, it was your actions of climbing or breeching a perimeter fence & ignoring the many warning signs and coming into where you had no business.
Bear? BIG BORE or suicide. It is a different gun for each. Won’t use a .50cal on a gopher or a .22cal on a bear & live to tell about it. What attracts lions and bears? Shooting a coyote, deer or a boar. Meanwhile you are going on about “what do we need guns for”? You go explain to the bear that is our meat for the month and see how it goes?

This (rattlesnake) is just one of many examples of what patrols the farm and the fence line.
You are not safe. Nope. 0 common sense. 0 comprehension of the purpose for the existence of guns very much equates to a lack of understanding of the world outside of your very narrow purview.
The ONLY way that our ownership of a gun makes anyone unsafe is if they are trespassing.

Why do you hate farmers? WTAF is wrong with you?
Your entire question is an insult to your own intelligence. Seriously, how far gone are you?
We do not need or want snakes around chickens because chickens will eat mice; the last thing that we need is for them competing for meat & getting snake bit.

We on rare occasion need to shoot a bear, lion, boar, coyote, or a deer. The mid to large calibers that do this for us are extremely destructive and would not be pleasant to be hit with.
Having guns is not the same as going around shooting everything that moves.
Leave the rattlers alone unless they come near the kennels or chicken coops, then we (not you) relocate (not shoot) them to the fields that we do not have chickens foraging in as we have the equipment (snake hooks, snake guards, boots, gloves, and buckets) for safe relocation and there are places where we WANT snakes on the farm (such as the fields of vegetables or fruits).
We farm folk do not demand that every city dweller have a ranch rifle. We do not expect you to live by our rules, why would you want to push your city BS on us? Seriously, stay the hell away, you have 0 business here.
Are you a flat earther? Is your view of the world limited to what you can see?
We own a farm. We are constantly overrun with rodents (mice, squirrels, chipmunks, gophers, and rabbits) which we trap or shoot. Rodents come in different sizes and while we can use the same rifles on MOST types of rodents, there are reasons why we cannot simply have one gun or pellet or bullet for all of them.
This is why we have GUNS PLURAL. There is no one size for every problem. Deer? Coyote? Those are culled with mid-bore rifles. Shooting a coyote with a .30 is ethical, a boar too. But a deer with a .30 needs to be a head shot or it will run a bit before it drops. For a deer: a .357 or even a .45 long rifle is really a more ethical round to use if you do not want the animal to suffer and just drop.
Our desert is literally crawling with rattlesnakes.
SUGGESTION: Stay in your concrete jungle because you would be unsafe on our farm, and the last thing that we need is to ruin our day burying the body of a city dweller who came out to ask us why we have guns and got themselves snake bit.
We farming folks go to town to buy/trade so we GET why guns need to be regulated in a city.
Why do you city folks think that you know anything about what the rest of the world is like?
We do not shoot ANY snakes here; literally ever.
