Culture is increasingly trending feminine, as I stated. Part of that trend is abandoning personal responsibility to secure safety and orderliness. We're meant to accept victimhood from a disordered society, Rittenhouse aside.
Went to Target yesterday in Salem, and plastic toys were locked behind glass. This is the level of disorder we are accepting, that plastic Legos are secured like jewelry, because society has murdered the dads.

There's the Bruen decision ('history and tradition'), and I have hopes that 'common sense' will encompass supressors for everyone's hearing protection.

Agreed. Then there's the fact that laws are only regarded by law-abiding citizens. Can't see someone getting arrested because their firearm wasn't loud enough.

I am curious about your opinion of this:

I'll give it a listen. My sister carries a 5-shooter, and the simplicity of operation is the selling point for her. In general though, firearms should have a magazine, because security demands being on at least equal playing field with the threat. I'm sure you've seen videos where full mag dumps either entirely miss, or barely wound.
I'm allowed to carry a high powered air rifle (recently learned they can be as powerful as other rifles), or a compound bow, or a samurai sword.
Anyhow, the point of being formidable isn't to throw weight around, but to deter violence in the first place; a simple fact so many don't get. Anecdotally, the biggest guys I know are the kindest, most gentle people. They don't get antagonized like the smaller guys, so they don't have to act aggressively for respect to be maintained.
Society needs to honor cool-headed, formidable masculinity that enforces boundaries, mostly just by speaking.
