Since Trump’s election, gun groups catering to progressives and people of color report a surge in interest as they look to defend themselves in a country that, to them, feels increasingly unstable.

You’re statistically more likely to exit a fight with serious injury using a knife over a firearm.
You aren’t considering the correct statistics. Source: I’ve actually read the stats you’re citing and they don’t apply to this situation.
In nearly 50 years I’ve never been anywhere else close to a knife fight, I’m also not a moron.
The situation I’m talking about is home defense and yes, I have dogs, I live in one of the safest areas of my state and I do have self defense plans if anything does happen. Guns are not part of that strategy because I have kids in the house, and despite them being trained, I still am not going to keep one around just so that I can ‘feel’ safer.
You do you, I’m not going to stop you, even if I were anti-gun, the ship sailed long before I was born in this country. So instead, since they are a reality in the US, let’s be smart about them and recognize that individual situations are different for each of us.
