The most liberal anti gun person that I know has gone out and taken a handgun safety course and purchased a firearm. 10 years ago he would have run me over with his truck just so that he could say “at least it wasn’t a gun that killed him.”
Sign of the times.
My wife used to be liberally minded towards guns. She freaked out every time I pulled any of my firearms out even to just clean them. The truth is she had never fired one. Once when I had my Sig out I placed it on the table and left it there for awhile without saying anything (we don’t have any children living with us). She freaked out for a bit but then I said, “notice that it doesn’t go off or fire itself”? Just bought her her own .380 last month and now she loves target practice on the range.
