re: If you don't own a gun now, is the current climate making you consider it?

Realistically speaking, crime and gun violence is way down from the 80s and 90s. The only difference between then and now is 24/7 media coverage and the internet. You should buy a gun to protect yourself from street level criminals and not because of current events.

Already own a gun but since I'm not a cop nor a racist, I think I'm fine

Are you white, white-Hispanic, white-Asian, or black?

If any of the first 3, then you're considered racist enough to be targeted.

No.

And civilian gun ownership at all time highs. What a coincidence.
Or maybe you think that prospective criminals don't care whether or not you are likely to have a gun.

People who don't buy guns for self defense are similar to vaccine deniers, benefitting from group inoculation without exposing themselves to perceived danger.

Gun ownership and crime rate are unrelated due to the fact civilian gun owners rarely stop crime in general.

Accidental shootings also rise with gun ownership rates. A lot more retards own guns and don't properly secure them. You are far more likely to get shot by your own guns than use it in self defense. Just keep that in mind when you buy a gun.
