I’ve lived in the city for a decade and have never seen a single gun or heard a gun shot. Everybody needs to calm the fuck down.

I’ve never seen a gun or heard a gun shot and i lived in NE and SE DC in the 90s. If I managed to survive living in DC when there were 500 murders a year without a gun then anyone should be able to do so. The only time I was a victim of a crime is when I had my car stolen by the police in a towing scam that was broken up by the FBI. But then again I’m not a pussy.

You might wanna look into your local crime statistics, my cities home invasion rate is 1 in 9 people a year get their home invaded.
It is actually an improvement, several years ago it was 1 in 7.
My last apartment got burglarized while my ex gf was home back when me and her were together many years ago. I have lived in my current city for like 8 years, so 1 down for this 9, but over the next 9 years I can expect it to happen again. Someone did try to steal my motorcycle out my driveway 2 years ago which sucked thankfully they didn't get it now I park it in the garage.
But I can expect that well if I live in this city the rest of my life where I am right now, I could expect to get burglarized another 5 times before I die. Maybe more if I live a long time.
And my gun will be waiting for them if I am home when they do it!

What so absurd about this narrative is that US cities have essentially never been safer in the modern era. These pansies have no idea what this country was like in the 80s and 90d

I cannot imagine being so paranoid. That can’t be healthy.
I haven’t locked my house for 20 years. Maybe you guys should move to a better neighborhood.

Now people wanna destroy cities and take / damage peoples shit just because they're mad and that sounds like a good thing to do in their insane heat of the moment.
Yea. People just taking and fucking up peoples shit cuz they're mad will most likely involve you at some point. so you might as well be safe because you never really know whats going to happen. But as I've said, these times are as uncertain as any other time in history

I live in an amazing neighborhood too but there are poor neighborhoods AROUND me. My house has been burgled before and I live in arguably the nicest neighborhood in my city. And no I don't live exactly in Seattle as my tag says.

I haven’t locked my house for 20 years. Maybe you guys should move to a better neighborhood.
I've bough 11 guns in the last 2.5 years along with about 10,000 rounds of ammo, mostly .22lr. I probably spent 1500 on the ammo, and 4000 on guns and accessories. I bought them because I had a feeling shit was going to get weird in the next few years, and also prices were at historic lows. Between shit getting weird, a phenomenal buyer's market, and being flush with cash, it kind of turned into an addiction. I bought almost everything on sale, so i got it for cheap even for the base prices of the time.
But honestly, how many rounds am I going to get off before I have holes in me in places where they don't belong. I'll run out of blood long before I run out of bullets. How many guns can I shoot at one time? Which brings me to my backup rationalization. I knew those low, low prices wouldn't last forever, there would be some kind of crisis, availability would drop, and prices would skyrocket, or in the unlikely event that didn't happen (which it did), they hold their value pretty well. At worst, I might lose a little. At best, I could see a significant gain on my investment. At the moment, I could sell everything, and pretty much double my money.
So now I'm at the point where I kind of need to decide whether I'm more paranoid, or greedy. I feel like I have good reason to be both. Also, I kind of like them, but I don't need 11 of them. I could sell half of my collection, make back all my money, still have 4-6 guns, and plenty of ammo to get me through the drought, more than enough to get me through 2-3 gunfights, which is about as many as I could optimistically hope to survive, and for several years of hunting, which if things totally collapse would dry up within a year, anyway. Basically, enough to extend my life for maybe one year. If things haven't started to stabilize somewhat by then, my chances of survival start dropping rapidly.
tl:dr: Guns are cool, Koods. Relax. I'm not paranoid! You're paranoid!
Hope this helps.
