Boomers don't need guns.
Dementia + lethal weapons. Terrible combination.
Pretty much no one in rich countries need guns these days, no matter the generation.
It's really depressing. Yesterday I packed out an order for a hidden magnetic gun holder.
Like great. That is wonderful. Someone out there, possibly a paranoid deranged asshole, wants to keep a presumably loaded gun under their bedside table or desk...
don’t forget drugs, tons of drugs
As something they need more or less of?
Because with the right dose of sedatives I can't imagine this story happening at all.
They are buying so many of them now too. My dad keeps buying guns, doesn't hunt, just preparing like the "news" he watches fears him to.
Not all boomers. They had hippies too
A lot of old, former hippies vote Republican these days, unfortunately.
If they were really hippies, would they willingly have firearms? That seems very unusual for them.
