    Most of the real danger in my life is the result of guns being in the hands of people who want to kill me because I walked on their grass or something

      Has this ever actually happened to you?

        I get a few “Go back to where you came from” and a N word here and there, as well as standard police BS. It got worse during Trump and we bailed the small towns.

        But you tell me how many dead folks you need before you feel validated.

          I was assaulted a month ago, didn’t draw any weapon but if strangers didn’t intervene at the last second I would have. I belong to a targeted minority, and the only alternative to being able to defend myself is basically just to hide.

          Edit: Maybe a bit longer than a month ago now

              If the altercation started 15 seconds earlier it would have been different. If that changes nothing for you then there is no need to continue this
