Light on details. But the th;dr is that women and marginalized groups are living in fear and buy guns to feel safer.

... and when they do, the oddest collection of gun-control enthusiasts emerge https://www.history.com/news/black-panthers-gun-control-nra-...

then they realized the best thing for sales is scaring people by selling guns to everyone.

my favorite was a few years ago when someone went on fox and said "okay, you're arguing we should all have guns, lets go into the black neighborhoods and make sure they all have guns because we'll all be safer then, right?"

Immediately "woah! Let's not go too far", right after they basically stated that they should arm every child in a school.

God I love irony.

This had a sad ending, almost all the alpacas they were herding ended up dying of neglect. Those guys really had no idea what they were doing and were basically just larping as farmers.

Unrelated to the article but I used to live in Asheville NC and there were a lot of hippies that would try to become organic permaculture farmers and stuff to get back to the land. Usually they found out that farming is hard. Some stuck it out but many did not.
