Yep. A liberal friend of mine lives in MN and is freaking out. NOW she wants a gun and suddenly, I am the one she is calling for advice. She is having anxiety and heart palpitations, unable to sleep as she is worried about rioting getting to he neighborhood and there is NOTHING she can do.
We must have the same friend with the heart palpitations. Suddenly Minnesota nice has just been taken advantage of and shes scared to death. Hey, nice dont cut it when you are facing a mob carrying bricks and burning bottles of gasoline.
One amusing thing is the liberals who have always wanted more gun laws and now complain that it's faster and easier to get a handgun illegally than legally. Our seven day waiting periods are a big deal when the riots, looting, and arson are coming on all seven days.
It would be interesting to ask her how it came to that; what does she think happened?
Same thing happen with Charleston Heston during LA riots. Neighbors who attacked him for his stand on firearms were begging to “borrow” some of his firearms. Told them sorry but they have not been trained in their use and could hurt themselves or others.
Tell her that she doesn't need a gun and that there's nothing to worry about, she can just call the police and they'll protect her community.
"Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes (or hours) away!"
You might also remind her that the SCOTUS has ruled that she does not have a constitutional right to be protected by the police. The police are only duty-bound to protect the community (Castle Rock v. Gonzales, No. 04-278.)
