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.

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

[–] EnderofGames@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

If they were really hippies, would they willingly have firearms? That seems very unusual for them.
