I’m a liberal and I’m getting one because the writing on the wall indicates our democracy is coming to an end and things are about to get a whole lot less safe.
I mean, yah it’s unstable now and scary and we are seeing things happening we never thought we’d see on US soil… and this is just the start. Even if the political environment changes around midterms and 2028, we still have a whole world that is crumbling from forces of unfettered capitalism and authoritarianism and a dumbed-down populace.
We are going to have climate problems that will be very severe, we are going to large numbers of people displaced and moving around, and nothing stokes violence and new regimes like displaced populations, and we have AI rising as a weapon that will make nukes look quaint, so we should all hunker down for whatever is coming next and take every possible precaution.
Eh.

FYI, it took me around six months of regular range time and a class to feel comfortable carrying.
The best time to get a gun and start training with it is 6 months ago.
The 2nd best time is now.
