Firearms

[Karl Rand]

While I’m completely anti-gun, trash the 2. amendment, make assault weapons illegal kind of guy, I understand that there are areas in the US where a gun is part of someone’s life for good reason.

However as someone who also suffers from depressions, however well they seem to be managed, having ready access to a gun could prove lethal.
The additional self confidence a gun provides could also lead you into more dangerous situations, instead of avoiding these situations in the first place. Especially if alcohol is in the picture.

On the other hand, you could meet someone during training, practice...

I often wonder when encountering the American view of firearm possession if the entire nation has lost its sanity.
Here in Australia we have very strict and very limited laws covering firearms held by civilians. The vastly lower incidents of fatal shootings per head of population compared to ”˜the Land of the Brave and the Free’ tells us something.
The 2nd amendment may have made sense when it was first written but the context and meaning have changed since then.
