Anti-gunner irony
A high school classmate of mine is very anti-gun. Yet when her parents were threatened by her brother-in-law (doesn't want their daughter or grandson to seek refuge there), classmate is very glad that her father owns a 38 and a shotgun... So were the police when they filed a report. Bad situation but funny how her attitude changed.
A liberal is a conservative who hasn't been mugged yet.

Yes it is always quite amusing how attitudes about self defense in general, and weapons, specifically Guns!, change when someone's neck comes onto the menu.
Suddenly, they seem to want one, and want it right now!
It's even more amusing when they live in a state with mandatory waiting periods, or strict licensing and right now means in a couple of weeks, or longer.
would you believe Illinois - where you have to have a
Card from the govt to even buy ammunition.
Yes, I'm well aware of the FOID requirement

Legal, law abiding, generally decent hard working citizens, who have jumped through all the hoops to legally purchase, carry, and fire CONSTITUTIONALLY GUARANTEED firearms are criminalized, marginalized, and stigmatized by nincompoops, hypocrites, and lowlife forms of "journalists" and "politicians" in the latency game.
Then the flag goes up and suddenly the same citizens are magically the "good guys" and "brother can you spare a Glock" saviors of formerly anti-gun thugs and cheap-shot dung beetles.
When the feces struck the oscillator in Los Angeles, just about everybody I knew turned out to be carrying some form of SIG, Beretta, HK, or Glock... these would-be progressives turned out to be self loathing pragmatists.
"What are you afraid of?" I had been asked, mockingly, several times by said "enlightened" boors.
"Violent mobs and home invasion," was my standard reply. I recall no snappy comeback to that response.
Brian, you hit it on the head.

I don't understand any location where the politicians care more for the criminals than they do for the law abiding citizens.
I don't understand why the citizens allow this, but I have 2 theories-
1. Citizens vote for those types of politicians because they think the politicians will give them something- more welfare, whatever, so they let this override their concerns for safety.
2. The politicians, maybe the voters, are concerned that it will be their friends, their family, or themselves that will be criminals and will want to not be treated as criminals.
Not criminals but special interest groups and
