In any discussion about the 2A with a fellow Democrat I always recommend that they learn to shoot before taking a hard stance against the ownership of and/all firearms. I have a family member that's a member of the trans community and while they don't participate in any kind of activism they do have a fairly extensive collection of long guns and pistols.
I have my own modest firearms collection. None of them has been fired since they closed down the really decent indoor range nearby a decade ago. Some have never been fired.
Originally I was planning to sell them but there are two things that keep me from doing so. First is that I could not live with myself if someone bought my AR-15 (never fired, btw) and decided to seek retribution at a school, mall or other public place. And secondly I'm just paranoid enough to keep them "just in case."
However, I have had my will changed so that -- with the exception of the Kentucky long rifle inherited from great, great, great family members on my father's side -- all of my weapons are to be destroyed.
I started life in Northern Maine. At the ripe old age of 9 I took my first firearms safety course so I could get my first hunting license. I'm not a republican 😑 but guess who knows how to handle firearms? 😏 and also doesn't need one to go get pizza.
Charlie, my advice to you is either a pump action or lever action shotgun. You don't need to have super good aim, but point it in the direction you want the blast to go. I am not here blowing a the pro-gun horn, but, if you feel the need for protection from creeps from the Grand Ole A-Wipe Party (and at this point, the base is running that show, and most of the base are a-wipes), and you don't know if you are good at aiming, then go the shotgun route. As Reese said in Legally Blonde 2--"Don't fight the fabric...change it".
