    My morality behind gun ownership is “if my grandparents who can’t send a text are able minded enough to own 4 guns (one of which unregistered), so am I”
    In a perfect world I wouldn’t own a gun or have any desire to, but when >50% of people vote for the person trying to make me illegal (trans, in Florida) protecting myself is more important.

      I gave this same commentary when all the scared suburban whites ran out and bought guns after seeing the scawy BLM protests - suicides are by far the largest component of deaths via guns annually, I want people to genuinely make a decisions around ownership instead of a fear based reaction today, forget about it next month, and then their kid/relative finds it in the closet a year from now…
