This self infantilizing behavior is partly to blame for the current rise of fascism btw

Can I ask what your reason is? I’m looking into getting one for the first time in my life so I’m curious what your thought process is

Me personally, i just know myself well enough to know that i am accident prone/clumsy so there’s that. Also, I don’t think i have it in me to actually pull a trigger even if someone was coming at me. I have tons of other means to protect myself so if those don’t work then yk what… it was my time to go. But personally, im not gonna put myself or family at risk bc i know my own abilities. I don’t mind people owning guns at all, but I personally just have never felt the need for one.

So if having a gun in the house makes me uneasy, I’m not gonna get one. But like I said, I don’t care what others do, I just feel less safe WITH one personally

With everything going on in America… ur really using your voice to point out the issue is me not owning a gun… I think u need to look a little deeper about what’s actually causing the rise of facism btw…

Extremely level headed take 😅

I actually agree with all of that, guns are a net negative during normal times so I don’t take this lightly at all. I’d be a first time owner which I why I’m going to take a class and buy a safe to try to limit the real risks associated with owning one. For some reason seeing Pretti get executed made me think that I want one in case a real large scale armed conflict breaks out

Absolutely! If having a gun makes u feel safer then by all means do it and obviously the right training. I also have ADHD and anxiety so I just know I can be forgetful at times or overthink things which is another reason I just don’t think it’s smart for me to own one. Maybe one day my mind will change, who knows! But rn it’s just not in my best interest and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that😂
