What’s true?
All of it.
Oh it is now that I see the picture. I’ve even joked with mom lately that we should get away from all this trouble and go visit the middle East where it’s nice and peaceful.
Some of my lady friends have bought guns. (Lots of first time gun owners out there.) On the one hand, I think it’s great. On the other, I am a little concerned this really isn’t the proper environment for it. Decisions made based on emotion aren’t always the best.

The bullet supply chains are a bit gunked up, so getting the proper size for your gun can be a hassel and sometimes down right expensive. This can affect the purchase of the gun, too–one lady bought one that is maybe not quite the right fit for her, but she did make it through all the guns safety classes and CWP just fine. She is planning on getting a smaller one once available.

Of course with the continued lock downs and social distancing, getting to the range to practice can be a bit of a problem.
I don’t think that we can resolve the current situation until we recognize that most media outlets are outright treasonous and should be handled accordingly.

We have institutions that are designed to contain, mediate, and defuse conflict. Their capacity to do so has been ruined by bad actors. About half the populace ignores this.
38 yo friend of son has bought a pistol. Took a safety course. Filing for concealed permit. This after she witnessed a shootout from her kitchen window. Shooter was in a car and shooting at a house across the street. She called police and made statement. Her house is in a middle class, well kept up older neighborhood in Alexandria VA (liberal city in a liberal state).
Re Jury trials: one large city near by usually 1 in 3 persons do not appear for jury duty. Now 9 out of 10 do not appear. Murder trial finally had 12 jurors.
