The eternal internal conflict of buying a gun to oppose fascism and not buying a gun because of mental health ๐
You have a couple of options:
First, get the gun, but before that, line up a "firing pin buddy" who can keep parts to make sure your firearms cannot fire. You give the person your firing pins when needed, or they feel they need to.
Or, don't get a gun, and git gud at other valuable skills. First aid, mutual aid networking, etc etc. Also, pepper gel is decent enough for self defense. Also, cane fighting skills work well, and a lot of self defense cases exist, for example.
A third option is to train with a gun buddy and buy one when you feel it is definitely needed. no major financial burden, and you get firearms training.
And another good option!
