Follow Up on my Gun Control Post

Okay, now let's get political-- I just watched a video from this guy and I absolutely love him. Liberal guy I assume, or at least somewhere on the left. Good stuff.

Gun Control

TW: Depression, suicidal ideation, guns

Gun Control

She asks me about the second amendment.

The right to bear arms, she explains.

To live in a free country where any citizen has the right to protect themselves.

Yes, I say, thinking very little.

Guns can be controlled.

But protection is a necessity.

That night I roam the online gun shops. 

Debate a handgun or a pistol, think about what kind

of metal trap I could carry in my purse on dark streets

in late April. To press tightly next to my notebook and cell phone,

to finally feel safe in a dangerous world.

When I call my father the next day, I almost ask him why we don’t own a gun.

For home safety, I would say. To protect from forces beyond.

But before the words escape my lips, 

I remember, too clearly, why.

Not that funny

I like to set low expectations.

I'm starting to do stand up comedy!!

You should critique my stuff or listen and applaud.
