And thanks to my fellow Democrats most of us aren’t armed. Great job guys.

republicans banned guns in California because of black people arming themselves in the 1960s

I have no qualms about gun control, because I am not a person who should own a gun. I'm bipolar and medicated. That doesn't mean I'm cured, and it doesn't mean I won't ever have a relapse into an uber manic phase where I could hurt someone else, or a depressive phase where I turn the gun on myself. I'm not going to lie, the current state of things make me WANT to own a gun, but I am just going to have to find my own way to help with the resistance to Trump and Fascism that doesn't involve firearms. There are other ways to make a difference. That being said, any democrat that can legally obtain a firearm absolutely should.

Only reason I don’t own one is for my own safety
