this reactionary knee-jerk response doesn’t make sense for leftists. Do they think they’ll be able to take a handgun in a bar and protect themselves from another event like this? I pretty sure that most states bar guns where alcohol is served.
It’s still good for them to become gun owners. It should help break the fog of leftist propaganda about guns and gun owners. It’s also a first step to accepting personal responsibility for one’s own safety and becoming more fully psychologically adult.
