I can't afford to be flat out open right now. I have an elderly mother I don't want affected. The irony is that she votes republican most of the time, but is 100% with me on most issues and especially guns. She is a retired teacher and thinks it would be nuts to arm teachers. At best I will send them an anonymous letter describing what happened to me as a kid.
I don't remember it, but I now know why my mom's antique music box and chest of drawers have bullet holes in them. My dad got drunk off his ass and fired his handgun in the house with me in it. I am quite sure he was legal at time of purchase too. But for those who can be open, every voice counts.
I find it bat shit insane that we rightfully make sure cops and military are mentally stable before handing them weapons, and and want them to be trained well enough under stress that they don't hit the wrong target, but according to gun worshipers "responsible" simply means having no record at time of buy. Yet the Va Tech shooter, and the Orlando shooter had no record at time of buy.
This has never been about liberals wanting a fascist state, nor was it ever about rights. It has always been about one party and one lobby protecting a flooded market by marketing fear to their followers to protect the profits of the weapons factories.
