I’m so divided on this. I would love to see him do anything to mitigate the damage. But I fear that almost anything could tip us into a rural versus urban civil war. I beg all leftists to procure a gun(s), learn gun safety, and learn how to shoot.
Preferably in the next month because I wouldn’t be surprised if sales are restricted.
It isn’t just about kids. For one thing firearms are expensive and valuable, and increases your risks of being broken into. (Most thieves, though, will only target easy victims.)
The other thing is each lock is one more conscious choice with firearms. It’s not much, but it does provide a decision-point where you can choose something else when you find yourself in a mental health crisis.
And for home defense…. It’s almost certain if it changes outcomes… it’ll be hurting you, if it’s stored open. (Now if you carry in your home, that’s different, but also… well we won’t get into that.)
Biden could do an official act. A couple of official acts, even.

All I’m going to say on that, is this:
What guns you do have…. Lock them up securely. (Ideally, behind 3 locks- the room, a gun safe, and an individual cable or trigger lock.)
We don’t need more headlines like “five yo shoots family”.
Excellent advice. We do not have children or ever have them in our home so we do not go to these lengths.

It’s a good point and we do have trigger locks. I don’t want to ever have to hurt someone but especially after yesterday I’m not taking any chances.
It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn’t the sole problem, he’s largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.
