I'll be honest, I'm very conflicted about red flag laws.



I see dangerous, pro-terror racists online posting gun pics every day in my research and it's terrifying.



I also deeply fear laws that step into the arena of denying Constitutional rights on the basis of speech.

After the Proud Boys visited my home, my partner and I had a lot of discussions about personal gun ownership.



It's something we'd NEVER have considered otherwise.



I have deep, deep reservations about ownership, but it's something we've reluctantly decided to move forward with.

Someone I respect once said, "buying a gun is making a conscious decision that you're okay with potentially killing someone," and that's a truth and message I've grappled with daily making this choice.
