Next week will have lots of political excitement going on, I'm sure. Despite that, hopefully you're having an OK week

I'm just over here preparing myself for our nation's gears of power to be handed over to an anti-democratic felon rapist and his party who historically only benefit the ultra-wealthy.

In other words, I'm looking into buying a firearm and protecting my assets.

Things are about to get a whole lot more desperate in this country.

looking into buying a firearm

For everyone thinking that: look into taking classes on how to shoot the thing BEFORE you buy it.

It's a lot harder than you might expect, and a gun does you no good if you cannot put two center mass if you ever have to use it.

This is why I wish guns were taught safety/training in like middle school. If they are gonna be part of society, fucking deal with it as a part of society.
