HakeemGSo what should people do instead? Nothing? What are you doing to change things and how is that working out? Posting edgy comments on social media?

I'm not interested in feeding the local warlord if there's an apocalyptic event.
That's one reason to talk to neighbors: to possibly defeat warlords. Other preparations could be firearms training, martial arts, and go bags or bug-out bags for when all else fails, wildfires, nuclear war, or some other disaster.
Mercurial@kete @[email protected] I’m trying to find the original post and cannot find:( I wish I knew bc this sounds interesting. was this about what should i do if i don’t like the loudness of guns? that’s my guess. i could talk to neighbors. i consider that a lot but it’s oddly so difficult. Last night or early this morning, 2 guys were shot (wounded, not dead) in a house up the street on the corner. I saw it on the news, putting on the weather forecast with my students. I said, that’s my neighborhood, I know that house, oh, someone got shot. #damn
Difficult for me, too
@kete that’s one thing about this setup… so little can see the original conversations

I don't think guns are for everyone anyway, but yeah, I heard the volume is really off-putting. Also, just practicing pulling the trigger with an empty gun and the cleaning rod in the barrel to aim can help someone learn to hold the gun steady. Not sure where I heard those, but maybe here https://omny.fm/shows/cool-people-who-did-cool-stuff/part-one-ben-passmore-on-black-history
