waking up to realize the “rights”

“strong” gun laws. you won’t see this major action in open carry states with good castle doctrine.

if you leave, take me with you

If you're pitching Y'all Qaeda, moar gunz and open carry, I'm gonna need to level with you: there's gonna be very, VERY few other countries that will be a good fit.

It's been 30+ years since I even cared to carry a weapon, and that just for infantry where you sometimes need it for work. "I should get a gun" hasn't been a thought in my head until very occasionally in the last 6 months. And even that was followed by "nah. I'll get a rock. They'll bring me a gun".

If you can leave, blending into your new country will require adjustment.
