So, anybody deciding its time to arm themselves?

19. No.

I am not anti-gun and have owned some in the past.

Even though I support your decision and you may be correct in taking precautions, I will not yield to fear and paranoia or live it. They are disturbing and destructive in themselves. I actually think that is a good reason to check one's motivations and consider if a weapon does equal safety, or if that kind of a sense of security is deceptive and is it practical?

That's what I consider dangerous and what I am most critical about when it comes to gun nuts out, (promiscuous gun-toters as the head of the NRA said back in the '30s. there who are acting out of fear and imagining that a gun will assure they are safe.

Once they get their guns, then many of them then expand their fear and paranoia and fear somebody will take them away. How ironic. That's the second phase and it lets you know how paranoia works. It can continue to inflate and burn more from there.

Then, it comes down to a willingness to kill other human beings, maybe many. I understand survival, but when it comes down to that, for me, all bets are off and I might even rethink "survival at all costs".
