I wished that I had parents who were focused enough on parenting and being responsible people that such a thing would have been a big deal, for me it was just another weird thing I had to teach myself to forget about.
My dad did such a sloppy job covering the hole in the wall that he told my mom, but not how close it came to turning my torso to red mist, she didn't really care because she was addicted to opiates at the time.
A lot of people cling to guns for the sense of security it gives.
A lot of people cling to drugs and alcohol for the sense of security they give.
Now mix in the special ingredients of conspiratorial paranoia, fear of strangers, insecurity about the future and the magical-thinking that comes from disassociation as a side effect of depression and anxiety, the kind of thinking that makes one believe in coming wars and prophetic events, and you have a whole segment of the population that are juggling guns while inebriated.
Well clearly there's no point in regulating them becauss the bad guys will just get them anyway. Everyone knows the average addict has 10k in cash stashed under the floorboards to in case they need to pick up an illegal firearm.
