just raise your hand.

now all those with overwrought paranoid fantasies about the dangers of the world and the need for all of us to arm ourselves, please just continue exposing your friends and family to one bad judgement.
but it's ok to have overwrought fantasies about your neighbor owning a gun, and how that's sooo dangerous?
i've had guns around me my entire life. happy to say that my siblings all grew up safely, as have my kids. not one shot fired in anger. can say the same for my extended family, as well as my husbands...

i don't have any fantasies about it one way or the other. but i'm no more comfortable in losing that right as i would be any of the others we're supposed to have guaranteed to us.
if you don't want a gun, you don't have to have one. i'm not forcing ownership on you, and i'd appreciate if you not literally force your feelings about it on me.
