The subject of this thread "You are your own first responder" sounds like vigilantism. There have been 3 shootings this week for honest mistakes: ringing the wrong doorbell, getting lost, and getting into the wrong car. Madness. Fear, guns, and stand your ground laws are a deadly mix. It is crucial for individuals and institutions to prioritize peaceful and lawful means of addressing grievances and resolving conflicts, rather than resorting to vigilantism, which can lead to further violence and chaos. Safe use of guns requires training. Encouraging everyone to carry guns and be trigger-happy will only lead to more violence. People often make poor decisions, and it a better world when small mistakes are not made fatal.
Trigger Happy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSD3brpn2nEThe second amendment starts with a well regulated Militia:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Some seem to think the second amendment is only about guns, and interpret the second amendment as saying:
The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
So why are there all those extra words? The actual wording puts the focus on a well regulated Militia. The concept of a well regulated Militia has changed. Are the Proud Boys really necessary to the security of the U.S. in this age of tanks and fighter planes? January 6, 2021 demonstrated the dangers of militia. What is a recent example of a U.S. militia adding to the security of the U.S.?
I think guns should be regulated the same as any other modern tool such as cars or computers, with common sense and without a sense of entitlement. Repeal is a trigger word for some entitled nuts.
