I’d Kill Someone to Save My Life

“I’d kill someone to save my life,” a gun-loving friend tells me for the dozenth time, and I grit my teeth and nod noncommittally. I want peace between us. It would be futile to get pulled into an argument in any case; I’m not going to change her mind; she’s not going to change mine, and I don’t want strife between us. I don’t need to say anything anyway; my friend knows where I stand. I support reasonable restrictions on the use and sale of firearms. She’s just trying to nudge me a little over to her point of view, to make me imagine her fearful narrative— someone could be coming for me, and if I’m unarmed I’ll be at their mercy. Then I’ll wish I listened to her, or so she thinks. <a href="https://km-brown.medium.com/id-kill-someone-to-save-my-life-0d8aedf04f75">Visit Now</a>
