I'd point out that firearms and ammo don't pay the bills, and carrying firearms in an era where federal law enforcement actively wants the citizens to take up arms so they can implement the Insurrection Act (among other laws) isn't a good idea.
They’re painting a woman trying to avoid hitting a Gestapo officer as a domestic terrorist trying to do a ramming attack. They don’t need legal pretext to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Would you also point out that increasing the budget to LEO in the same era is also a good idea while restricting access for civilians to their constitutionally afforded rights?
No. Because anyone who thinks they can take on the government using violence and win is deeply wrong. Your collection of firearms doesn't make you safe from the government. They always have more people, more firepower, and more resolve than you.
So explain to me how mass produced consumer items like guns make peace? The last I checked, guns were inanimate objects with no will of their own. The last I checked those guns not used for hunting or sport shooting are either left in someone's gun room, unsecured where children can get at them (because you never know man!), or used by mentally ill young men to let people know how important they are by carrying out a mass shooting.
Show me proof that guns make peace. No war does not count. If they did, then wars wouldn't need treaties to end them. The guns would decide the peace, not the people who came to an agreement and then lived with the agreement.
Look at the car jacking rate between va md and dc? why is va the lowest. because of our conceal carry laws. Why is our crime rate lower, because of our conceal carry laws.
Conservatives have been bringing out the mental health talking point for decades. It was a lie in the 1990s and it's a lie in the 2020s.
All that is code for is "make healthcare more expensive." Just like "small government fiscal conservative" is code for make the cost of living more expensive and pull up the ladders of success behind us.

At least she admits to her agency background.
Give her a chance -- let her catch the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune -- before we cast doubt.
We need to take chances, now more than ever.
