Maybe it's wishful thinking, but both my parents are Blue. Yet, I found out a few minutes ago, especially in light of the IL shooting today, she's asking my father to help her find a handgun for herself and her protection, where my father owns 3-4 of his own.

I just gave her a bit grin and said "Great. I'll get my own, and we can all go out to the range to practice."

Baby steps. Apparently she doesn't believe the gun laws stop these lunatics (false flag or not). So wants something to protect herself if needed.

That's how it starts.
