I had (accidentally) cut in front of a guy in the McDonald’s drive thru and the driver left his car, with his gun, to confront me.
The same weekend, my wife got a gun for her to carry because she doesn’t feel safe.
I think having training on guns is vital to prevent accidents and to help people understand the weapons better. Texas has “constitutional carry” which is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone concealed carrying should have a license in my view

unrelated but i always knew articles like this were going to come out once minorities started to arm themselves, i just expected them to come from right-wing sources.

A significant portion of these people are going to accidentally shoot themselves or others
Another group is going to come home to find a family member killed themselves with their gun
Still others are going to be in situations that escalate to shootings because they had a gun on them
These are going to far overshadow any amount of protection the guns provide for their owners
This is a perfect example of a situation where the government needs to step up in the face of the fear of every day citizens and protect them from their worst impulses
It’s unfortunate that we’ve ended up in a situation where after 221 years of states being able to implement gun control, it’s going to be increasingly disallowed by the courts
We need to take the supreme court back, fundamentally burn down the decisions made on gun rights in the last 15 years, and implement comprehensive gun control like there is in australia

Perhaps undermining the state monopoly on the legitimate use of force was bad?
