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.

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
