I guess I wish we had a Swiss model of gun ownership. Everyone is mandated to have a firearm, but they are all kept in local safehouses. That said the purpose for that is to keep them neutral in war rather than have a force that can fight their own government.
I would like to see a balance of not crazy gun nuts owning guns, and especially when I get worried about a civil war, I would like to know when the proud boys march into my community to shoot us that we could shoot back.
At some point, picket signs just don't match an AR-15.
Also check your states laws for firearm ownership. I was diagnosed bipolar after being involuntarily hospitalized in 2015 in Spokane- according to Washington State law, I have a lifetime ban on owning a firearm, however I moved to Chicago where the ban is only 5 years long.
Many of us are disabled in some way, so the state may disenfranchise us for better or for worse, but I think it's important we can defend ourselves.
It's sad- 10 years ago I'd be fine with a firearm ban, but the world changed. Its time we focus on community safety, and especially for us who don't wear red hats.
Mike Lee? The same guy who laughed in the face of 9/11 first responders pleading for health care due to the cancer they developed from the debris of the twin towers, and then said "you must have some great stories to tell!"?
If anything, in my 30 years I've learned degrees only mean so much. Someone without a degree but with actual on the job experience will out perform a new grad any day of the week.
Frankly the university system has become a way to make sure the poor stay poor.
I feel like America is an alcoholic who is hitting rock bottom.
There's a YouTuber, struthless, who talks about his struggle with addiction, and one thing he said was "when you hit that snag in your life that feels like everything is ending, ask 'how can this be the best thing to ever happen to me?'"
Maybe that's what we need to start doing. We need to sober up and stop this cycle.
Just saw the recent south park episode- absolutely killed. Poor Cartman is nothing withoutout the woke 😢
