"Just say that. Don't moralize about weapon ownership or downplay very real threats." Yes, this is what I haven't liked about the you-don't-need-a-gun posts. Some of them could use a good home on r/confidentlyincorrect.
That being said... we Americans send our children to schools that have metal detectors, that run active shooter drills. A run for groceries can turn violent. Just going to work can end in bloodshed. My first encounter with gun violence happened at 19. For many of us, it's even earlier than that.
So it may be there's an element of collective trauma from our stupid, violent gun culture that is having an effect here? I think condensing that to "guns are scary" trivializes that a bit.
