Hell NO, I’m not comforted. I am saddened that so many Americans suddenly feel the NEED to LEGALLY own a gun, including me.
I do not mean the DESIRE for a gun, under the 2nd amendment, for use in hunting, competitive shooting and use at rod and gun clubs.
I mean the feeling of a NEED for a gun on the part of hundreds of thousands of people who NEVER in the past have even thought of owning a gun and ammunition, especially and including ME.
As I held me gun in my hand for the first time, I said a prayer to that gun, “May you never, ever be NEEDED. Used, practiced with, but never NEEDED.”
something about eternal vigilance comes to mind...a generation has fallen asleep on the job and left us with overtime.
“I do not mean the DESIRE for a gun, under the 2nd amendment, for use in hunting, competitive shooting and use at rod and gun clubs”.
You forgot and “for defensive purposes” under your list.
