the fate of this country is ultimately in the hands of the people, not the dems or republicans. we can bitch about who's not doing the right thing or we can do it ourselves.
arm yourself. stop waiting on someone else to fix it.
Can't arm myself... my state requires I pay a tax... do a background check that takes about a day... then do the same background check but it takes a few days to a few weeks... then I have to wait 30 business days which is like 3 months... oh and I need live fire training where I have to fire a minimum of 50 rounds which each round is taxed and I am given a pass/fail status by an old fudd who thinks I should never handle a firearm because I'm a registered Democrat... eventually I get my firearm if my licensed dealer hasn't fucked up the paperwork or isnt on another holiday... BUT I am severely limited in my choices as nearly every good personal defense firearm is banned either by name or because it has a useful feature like threaded barrels to mount a suppressor which will help with my hearing loss as I age... I probably won't get what I want either because the standard mag comes with a capacity of 11 or more rounds...
But yes! Lets arm ourselves!
Even for a 12ga pump? Most people don't need a handgun. Scattergun will do most everything you need, from putting food on the table to handling two or four legged varmints.
