My dad says it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

This is a quick essay by famed scholar Roxane Gay (Author of the Bad Feminist) discusses her personal journey with guns. From childhood to adulthood to her fear/rejection to her need to be armed and protect herself and home.

She also shares statistics and details of various court cases of gun owners who have been arrested, charged, or murdered.

I enjoyed the insight.
