"And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be," he said.

I have been staunchly anti-gun personally, but it feels like it's time to arm myself. The threats are becoming credible.
I was anti-gun up until about 3 years ago, but I’ve been training semi-regularly since they began making these types of threats. I also have good reason to believe they’re more than just threats, but actual plans. I would encourage you to start getting familiar with firearms and train sooner than later. A lot of people have a misconception that you can just pick one up, aim, and fire but there’s significantly more to it than that.
Don't just "arm yourself". Learn how to safely handle and use it and practice practice practice. Somewhere there is a Fascist that wants to kill you and they are practicing. So practice yourself.
You can bear arms, or you can arm bears. It’s your choice.
If I have a choice between an AR-15 and an attack bear, I'm going with the attack bear. Plus, it will enjoy belly scritches on its off hours. If you scritch an AR-15's belly, it doesn't kick its leg.
Always choose the bear.
I hope you do realize that this means you've been wrong all the time. Because the main political argument for gun ownership is such events exactly.
No, I haven't been, and that's why I said personally. The reason why I never wanted a gun in my house is because of looking at the statistics of who is by far the most likely to get shot by that gun. [Either me or my spouse.]
I am all for responsible gun ownership and made the personal choice not to get one because the threat of my government has not been a credible threat. That is changing, which is why I am trying to decide to make the personal choice to get one. The increased risk to both myself and my spouse is nearing the tipping point where NOT having one is a greater risk from my government.
Ah. Same here. Though I can't get a legal one here anyway, because Russian laws make no difference between ADHD, ASD and schizophrenia for the purpose of getting a permit.
I misunderstood that "anti-gun personally", cause not wanting a gun in your own house doesn't mean being anti-gun. One thing is about whether the choice is on your side or on the government's, the other is what would you choose.
No worries! I know it's hard to convey those levels of nuance in these conversations, especially with how quick everyone is to jump to one side or the other.
