re: #192 BlueGrl21

Yeah, I had a dad with mental health and violence issues and alcohol love tied to a loaded gun. Stepped in front of him and my mom and brother too many times. It was real for me at 8 years old. So my sympathy is not the best for people who fight to make sure my dad gets his gun. Nope. Just not feeling that right now.

In my case it was a suicidal roommate. I discovered him with a rifle trying to build up the courage to do the deed. I didn’t even know he owned a rifle. He immediately swung it in the direction of my chest.

That was the longest fifteen minutes of my life: They lasted about a century.
