Two days to 21. I can hear all the people bothering me about drinking already, just like when I was 18 and people wanted to take me to a strip club.
At that age, I told some classmates that I wanted to buy a bokken instead of going to a strip club, and they were like “Nooo!! Don’t say that!!!” So I can visit a place with crap music and and blow some money on objectifying women, but god forbid I get a weapon which they automatically assume I will use on others. I can understand that weapons in America are considered the domain of delusional boys in camouflage who masturbate to Red Dawn and Soldier of Fortune Magazine. If I can go back in time to rebut their concerns, I would say “I’m getting a weapon so that some paranoid idiot doesn’t get one”
I can take solace in that I, and the people around me now are a bit more mature and understanding. I don’t have much money for one, But on October 8, I will invest in a weapon to keep it out of the hands of boys.
