    I have no doubt they are empowering each other in a sick feedback loop.

    I had a friend that was always into guns but was normal about it. Then he started hanging out with this other gun guy. Within a couple years they were both psycho gun nuts. He started sleeping with a loaded the gun under his pillow. Even though he had a five year old son. To quote “He isn’t strong enough to cycle the slide so it’s ok …”

    I noped out of the friendship after that.

      One my old friends became a cop. He would leave his service Glock in it’s holster on his belt, hanging from his computer chair. While his then 7 year old daughter and 9 year old son ran wild, with no supervision.
