Most gun owners. Most.
Comment on Sounds like an amazing date night.
AngryHumanoid@reddthat.com 8 months agoWhile I generally agree with the sentiment you are expressing regarding some gun owners who absolutely have let themselves be brainwashed into fearing for their lives every time the doorbell rings, I do not like think it is reasonable to apply that sentiment to all gun owners, particularly those who have legitimate safety concerns for themselves as she undoubtedly does.

I don’t even agree that it’s most, keep in mind a lot of the times when we hear about a gun owner doing something incredibly stupid it is a statistical minority based on the known number of gun owners.
I’m not saying we don’t need to do more to restrict or enforce legislation on gun owners, we absolutely do, but even saying half means upwards of 200 million in the US. I think we’d be hearing about a lot more issues if that many were existing in that level of day to day fear.

I give her kudos for this. Instead of being some brainlet celebrity who preaches banning guns while having a fully armed security detail, she takes matters into her own hands. And as you stated, being a celebrity carries significantly more risk than your average joe.
