Is it time to buy a gun?
Yes.
Well, for one thing, I’m avoiding guns.
A gun doesn’t protect you. A gun turns every conflict into a life-or-death conflict.
Stupid people avoid guns, and they should, because they don’t know how to defend themselves with one, and offend instead. Guns were never the problem, but rather, stupid and mentally ill people using guns improperly (it doesn’t matter if it’s right or left-leaning, as that false dichotomy is irrelevant).
Guns were never the problem
Places in the world that have far less gun proliferation statistically, objectively have far less gun violence per capita, and less injury and death resulting from it.
It’s almost as if guns aren’t used to hurt people as much if they aren’t available to most of the population to use. Not sure what else to tell you.

I made this document a while back for new gun owners with the absolute basics.
Seatbelt. Condom. Vaccines. Voting. Living outside the US and other dangerous third world countries. Flossing.
I can’t buy a gun in my country, lack of freedom I guess.
Bought a gun. Have used them plenty, never figured I’d own one. Political violence by the American right is too commonplace. This administration is sweeping people off the street without due process. I’ve read history books. Might as well buy it and not need it than need it and not have it is how I feel.
And to anyone thinking about buying a gun who has never fired one, take a safety course and try it out first.
The American Right (the fascists) and Left (the communists) have both done this, not just the Right. Extremist voters on both sides of the aisle are used by higher interests to stoke chaos and division. You can thank Rome for doing that perfectly.
I do agree on the safety course before buying a gun, though.
The amount of violence perpetrated by the American Right is statistically significant in recent years. The opposite is not as significant.
That said, of course I agree it’s the rich vs us.
