I am licensed to carry a handgun in 45 states and the District of Columbia. I only take my gun off to shower and I put it in a ziploc bag. I have a 1.5s draw-to-fire time. My parents' house has 360 degree coverage with hardwired thermal cameras. I have a good relationship with my sheriff. Everyone in my family has firearms training. I drive an impeccably maintained 1993 Volvo 940 (sweet spot between modern safety features and not having an OBD-2 port) that just passed inspection. I drive the speed limit. I don't do drugs.
And to anyone who is tempted to try something anyways: if this shit continues to encroach into real life, I am going to go to your house and cut your power. Then I am going to come inside of your house in night vision goggles and switch your eyeballs and your testicles
If you are lost and cannot hear yourself anymore, stop asking for signs. signs are for people who still believe God owes them an explanation. go eat a meal alone, in total silence. no screen, no book, no music, just you and the food. chew slowly. say out loud before you start, thank you for what is dying on this plate so i can live another day. most men have not said those words once in their whole lives, and they wonder why the world tastes flat. the meat died for you. the plant died for you. the ground gave up something it was growing so you could open your eyes tomorrow, and you shovel it down watching videos of strangers yelling. no wonder you feel haunted. you are eating death every day without greeting it. do this for thirty days, one meal a day, silent with gratitude aloud, and you will hear something you have not heard since you were a child
