Everything gets worse with gunz.

Domestic violence is bad. Add guns and it gets worse.

Suicidal thoughts are bad. Add guns and it gets worse.

Gang violence is bad. Add guns and it gets worse.

Drinking too much is bad. Add guns and it gets worse.

People being assholes is bad. Add guns it gets worse.

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T GET WORSE WITH GUNZ?

I personally hate guns and don’t conceal carry. Being black in today’s Amerikkka in some cases is more dangerous without a gun. My husband has a target on his back everyday. ADD in racist cops and (Mendocino, Sonoma, Humboldt) Nazis and I fucking support his decision to conceal carry when he travels up and down the state of California working on Overhead Power lines to keep our infrastructure up and running.
