I agree but I don’t want to encourage people preemptively stressing out too much to the point that they either make bad decisions or completely burn out. We can’t lose it every time something bad happens that we have no control over.

It’s really important that we take care of ourselves right now and choose our emotional battles. This situation is incredibly heartbreaking and enraging but we have to keep things in perspective and keep a level head in this crucial time.

The powers that be are hoping we will burn out and/or make poor decisions based on fear. They are hoping that people with no gun experience will rashly buy one and make mistakes with it. They’re hoping we stress out to the point we can’t function. We have to be careful.

While I don’t disagree let’s not forget that hate crimes are unfortunately not unheard of regardless as to who is running the country.

In most situations being armed makes you more vulnerable.

Also do not get one if you have ever thought of harming yourself.

Please look into other ways to arm/protect yourself if possible.

It’s mutually beneficial gardening.

This. We need to all agree to not comply.

What a punchable face.
