No gun, but an axe. The raiding party's don't fill themselves afterall.
'Merican here. Y'know (responsibly kept) guns can be a neat unique part of American life, but as dirty and carcinogenic and freaking LOUD as they are, I think I'd rather just get good with a bow, sling, axes, that sorta thing anyway these days. All the fun of hitting a thing with another thing from far away, but without the tinnitus, lead exposure, and expense.
Especially if I could go to a place where crime rates are lower, work/life balance was tilted toward the "life" end, I could walk or bike places, there are trains, accessible education, less fascist subcultures, and maybe if seeing a doctor wasn't a financial catastrophe even with insurance...
I know everywhere has pros and cons but... Sheesh, between guns and all that?
