I don't mansplain, but here's some advice.

13. Let me tell you what is wrong with your recommendation: Get a gun and learn how to use it.

It sounds so good but about what happens when

*Someone is drunk
*she/he gets in a heated argument
*a gun is easily accessed
*that gun is kept loaded for use against a thief or another "bad actor"
*the shooter discharges the weapon wildly
*an innocent family member just happens to be present
*she calls the police "there is going to be a shooting" and then a shot rings out
*she is shot dead, her mother and aunt are wounded
*the shooter turns the gun on himself

That is exactly what happened that ended the life of an innocent bystander in an incident in my family.
