And that a disgusting number of people will be fine with it because any Darky who dares not comply 100% deserves what he gets.

This is good. But: don't solely think a gun will protect you though. It's just one instrument of many you can use for self defense.

That being said, classes would be a great way to start. Or a group of knowledgeable friends who will teach you proper technique.

Firearms are all in the fit, feel, and familiarity.

It takes a lot of practice and patience.

Definitely take classes. I took a basic firearm safety course (free) and a basic handgun course before I bought mine. A lot of ranges will also offer private lessons and will have different guns you can rent and shoot so you can see which ones are more comfortable for you to shoot. The only way to get good at it is to practice and if your gun isn't comfortable to shoot, you won't want to practice. There are also a lot of gun related YouTube channels with some good information, but be prepared to weed through some interesting political opinions.

Unfortunately, that has become a Pavlovian response among a certain group of people.

Maybe they're just waiting until Christmas. A fruit basket for each resident flanked with AR-15s and Glock19s.
 
A so-called friend of mine said I shouldn't have a gun because if she's PMS-ing with a gun in the bathroom and if I'm on hormones with a gun in the bathroom, that would be scary. She also repeated the whole "men pretending to be trans so they can cause harm" line. I told her that's a situation Lovecraft, Adams, and Asimov combined couldn't dream of and that her closet transphobia was showing. She thought I was being mean; I told her she violated my boundaries and she needed to get back. A good friend of mine from work simply told her if she is PMS-ing with a gun, she shouldn't be allowed to have one.

Yeah if you both are emotional with guns, why is it you're the problem and not her?
 
A sentence I never thought I’d write:

Ricky Schroeder and the MyPillow ceo have posted bail for Kyle rittenhouse Kenosha murderer
 
This morning, I was with my girlfriend who lives in a charmingly shady neighborhood of Grand Rapids. She's leasing a house from her dad. We hear a loud noise coming from the basement, and so my girlfriend attempts to tell person in the basement to knock it off, keep it quiet, etc. Person in the basement takes a swing at my girlfriend. My girlfriend, feeling threatened, draws her side piece to get person in the basement to back off. Cops come. Girlfriend is in jail tonight.

I know actions have consequences, yes. I'm wondering if I'll see my girlfriend again soon, or...

What person - a stranger, friend, someone renting from you?
 
Your girlfriend’s roommate took a swing at her and she pulled a firearm?

That is NOT a healthy situation Amber. At minimum you probably shouldn’t be hanging out over there. You may also need to have some serious discussions with your girlfriend as to what’s going on. This is a sign that there is something major going on.
 
9th to Heller: Drop Dead.

Americans have no right to carry guns in public, a divided en banc Ninth Circuit panel ruled Wednesday, reversing a prior Ninth Circuit decision that struck down a Hawaii firearm restriction as unconstitutional.

“There is no right to carry arms openly in public; nor is any such right within the scope of the Second Amendment,” U.S. Circuit Judge Jay Bybee, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote for the majority of an 11-judge panel in a 127-page opinion.

Looking back on 700 years of legal history dating back to 14th century England, seven judges in the majority found “overwhelming evidence” that the law has never given people “an unfettered right to carry weapons in public spaces.”

The seven-judge majority traced legal texts and laws back to 1348 when the English parliament enacted the statute of Northampton, which banned carrying weapons in fairs or markets or before the King’s justices. It also cited multiple laws from colonial and pre-Civil War America in which states and colonies restricted the possession of weapons in public places.

“The Second Amendment did not contradict the fundamental principle that the government assumes primary responsibility for defending persons who enter our public spaces,” Bybee wrote. “The states do not violate the Second Amendment by asserting their longstanding English and American rights to prohibit certain weapons from entering those public spaces as means of providing ‘domestic tranquility’ and forestalling ‘domestic violence.’”

Another reason we need SCOTUS +6.
