I was raised with guns. Thankfully there was never much of the crazy, racist personal protection crap that dominates gun culture now.
Guns were tools for hunting and life on the farm.
I learned early to care for and maintain the tool. Safety was drilled in constantly.
I've never been able to imagine them being banned outright. I have always thought they should be a lot harder to own than an automobile.
Gun culture in this country is astoundingly insane and dangerous. Immensely misogynist and racist.
A gun is the last thing I should have on hand if I'm already afraid.

Exactly. There's always this thought, drilled in by action movies or god knows what else that situations to defend one's life are analogous to even just shooting paper at a range. Simple right?
But doing _anything_ under pressure is different. And under that much pressure...?
