Why?

  1. we blow up tons of shit anyway

  2. we need to show fascists they don't own the monopoly on violence

  3. Look up operation blazing sword- LGBTQ and BIPOC folks need to arm themselves these days. It doesn't necessarily mean owning a firearm in your home, but having knowledge of firearms and a local place to organize your community to defend against y'all-qaeda sounds like an okay idea nowadays

  4. I fired a pistol for the first time two days ago and honestly it was fun

wait, you have a lifetime ban for firearms because of bipolar, but in Chicago Bipolar diagnosis only gives you 5 year ban? do they expect people to be cured of it in 5 years?

slight asside, I needed to be hospitalised a couple times, and I probably should have, hope you're ok. life is hard

If you have bipolar, but you haven't been hospitalized in 5 years for a serious episode, you probably have it managed pretty well.

You at least have it managed as well as a normal person has of their brain. Which, as we know, ain't that good.
