All of the crises, whether they be terrorism, crime, pandemic, economic recession, or just the election of Democrats, remind people that they are vulnerable. It's easy to be completely oblivious and to think it can't happen to you, and a lot of people trudge through life in that state. Events that prove otherwise make people realize how exposed they are, so they do what they can to mitigate it. It's not irrational like buying up massive amounts of toilet paper... the truth is that life is not safe, and a gun is a tool for coping with living in an unsafe world.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
