@Impossible_PhD There may be a fair degree of recklessness in how people are going about it, but I do not call arming ourselves irresponsible, to the degree we are able. What is irresponsible is thinking a silver tongue will keep you safe forever: indeed to even think in terms of being safe is irresponsible. We are at the "better to die on your feet than live on your knees" phase. And anything less than that is not principle, it is cowardice.
@FinalOverdrive @Impossible_PhD There are 400M firearms in this dystopia. Some people have dozens of them & Trump is giving them permission to terrorize minorities. Buying a gun is like buying rat poison. Mostly you are less safe due to accidental death, but if you really need it nothing else protects you as well. Me? I’m considering a freezer to stock up before the meat packing plants no longer have workers. Or become a vegetarian to balance our new drill baby drill CO2 levels. Lots of beans!
