The past few weeks are making me rethink my stand on guns and the Second Amendment. [View all]

My wife is a person of color and my son is a mixed-race American. And right here in safe, blue San Francisco, a Latino woman was verbally and physically assaulted by a Trump-lover at Crissy Field. Someone attacked a woman in San Jose and ripped her hijab off in a deserted parking lot. These incidents happened in the deepest-blue parts of a blue state and I don't need to go into what's happened elsewhere. If we are not going to have a president or Justice Department that will not have our backs, it may be time to get our own backs and do something I swore I would never do. And that is to arm myself.
