This really resonates. (And I worked at an anti-gun violence nonprofit. What an out their experience firing my first gun. Anyways, the tension between personal beliefs, current events and our responsibility as citizens is palpable. But, honestly I don’t know the answers either!

I'm not sure any of us do. It's a strange time to be alive, and to try to balance building a responsible society with the diaster we're currently living through. Good luck to us all!

I appreciate how candid you’re being here. And the path you took from firing a gun to reexamining what we as (labeled) Democrats are “supposed to” believe, versus personal beliefs. I’m still trying to parse through my own thoughts against the current, flat state of the Democratic Party.

I’ll never go red, but I will give them one thing: They definitely stick to their guns (pun intended) and stick to their beliefs. In contrast to the inconsistent and quiet blue team. It’s truly frustrating.
