Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

    No, the reason you did not buy a gun was because they would not let you because you do not have a physical address because you were living in a Van parked on the side of the road while you avoid all responsibilities for your debts that you’ve definitely got into on your own.

    Better luck next time

        That sounds lovely. It also sounds like not a permanent address to get a firearm.

        While I wish you the best and I hope that you enjoy swimming in the river and I am admittedly slightly jealous, don’t blame the fact that you don’t have a firearm on “I didn’t want one “

        You definitely want one. Who would not want one in this current world?

          I don’t want one. It’s an unnecessary expense and statistically less safe to own one. I do think we should know how to safely handle one and use it an emergency, but if we have a civil war or societal collapse I have skills to trade for one and know where I can get one within 15 minutes if it’s a surprise.
