Tucker is now doing a pure propaganda series on Fox Nation? Dear gawd. I should not be shocked at anything at this point, but here I am.

Living in red Cali, I worry about the violence a great deal. Already well armed pre covid, the stay at home restrictions of the early pandemic produced around the block lines at every gun store in town everyday until Jan 6. (there are many, many here). By this year, several store owners had their seller licenses' revoked by the evil state Governor due to repeated flagrant violations. Local social media posts of how many guns they had were common, along with the literal piles of ammo in their garages. Being a very vocal Republican anti Trumper earned me too many physical threats to count and a blue checkmark painted on my sidewalk. All we have gotten this far is......eggings.

Nevertheless, we found our old 9mm that hasn't been out of it's lockbox since maybe 2009 and had it serviced. Ammo was impossible to find. A friend in the mountains who keeps guns for legit reasons (bears, cougars, mountains lions, wolves) gave me a box. We are seriously looking at self gifting ourselves a second firearm for Christmas. The natives are restless here.

I have been made aware of several areas online where "liberals" (I hate to use that word anymore, but they claim it) have very large communities nationwide where they are educating each other about firearms, how to legally obtain one or two or three, resources on where there are gun stores, trainings and ranges that are not complete nationalists that will throw you out because you wear a mask. Or if you don't look a like a conservative, whatever that means. A large number of gun stores opening to serve liberals, minorities and non cis communities.

Essentially, both sides are arming up and escalating. The rhetoric on the right is causing the rebound effect on the left. This does not end well.
