I mean, not especially as far as guns go. It’s not like gun violence/negligence impacts my life constantly. The only reason I even own any guns beyond a few heirlooms is because of the rise of fascism and the fact that most gun nuts are right there with them. In my opinion and experience, there are larger issues with the US that feed gun violence and suicides, like the lack of social safety nets, public transit, rugged individualism, and the lack of representation in government. I’m not defending the absurd amount of guns in this country, and if there ever is a thoughtful approach to reducing the amount of guns in personal possession, I am all for it. I enjoy target practice, mostly with a 22 rifle, and would be perfectly fine with visiting a properly regulated range to rent a rifle and plink some targets.

All my guns are unloaded and in a safe, and my ammo is in a separate safe. Some people are complete idiots though and in a country with such liberal gun policies, this is the result. I am all for sensible gun control, and I hope this dumbass never gets their hands on another one, but knowing this country she still won’t fail a background check.
