Being a dirty unvaccinated American, who has traveled internationally with my unvaccinated husband and our unvaccinated kids, Covid taught me we need the 2nd amendment. In places in the US that boast more guns than people there were fewer restrictions, educated kids, and available jobs - which does save a lot of lives.

I’m fine with liability for those who actively enable dependent teenagers and young adults to access and store guns in their home with open access to them, just as I am with parents who knowingly let teenagers get hammered in their house then leave drunk driving s vehicle, but tyranny is far more lethal than gun violence over any mid to long term length of time.

The same people responsible for starving babies, masking toddlers, and promoting child sterilization and genital mutilation are offering to “keep us safe”? Um, no, I pass.

During Covid I went from supporting more gun restrictions to being a gun owner with a conceal carry opposing gun restrictions (but not the liability for adults who let kids live in their house with unfettered access to guns).
