There is a fine line between sanity and insanity, ask any lawyer.
This makes me boiling mad. I was born a long time ago and raised a US citizen. I stood up and saluted when the US flag was planted on the moon. I will not allow some ignorant white-trash boys in gangs to take over my country. I and many others had to tolerate Trump, a lowlife criminal, as POTUS for four years, because this is how our system works.
I don't own a gun, my choice, and one was offered to me when I went to law school at night in Washington, DC, but I'm not afraid of them. Ifirst held a gun when I was under age ten, supervised by my father. Should I buy two AR-15s and give one to my black female neighbor? Is this what Gaetz and his cronies want for the USA?
I believe that the U.S. is, or should be, a civilised nation, a democratic republic.
yes, you should give a gun to your neighbor just because she is black...and then you should be held criminal and financially liable for any use of the gun that she or anyone else does with that gun.
The same goes for you, right? She or I may need to fire it because we are WOMEN. We live in the "stand your ground" age. She or I might be approached as we go to an appointment at a women's clinic. Your advice is to shoot anyone who accosts you. I take it that anyone who visits a Planned Parenthood facility should be armed.
Better to have it, and not need it, than to need it, and not have it.
Sure. You never know when your kid may get dumped by their boyfriend or girlfriend and need to end their misery. Getting cut from the cheerleader squad or football team might put them over the edge too. Guns fired in the home are usually fired at a family member.
Nearly 40,000 Americans died from gunshot wounds in 2017, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics. That includes about 14,500 murders, nearly 24,000 suicides and 2,000 accidental deaths.
That gun you bring into your home is at least 15 times more likely to kill you or a family member than it will kill an intruder, my analysis of the data shows.
