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.

    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.
