I'm in a very liberal northern state. So that doesn't help. And the fact that you're basically Hitler if you have anything close to an opposing opinion also isn't nice. And I'm a minor and I can not move out of this hellhole of a state anytime soon. (Massachusetts to be exact. I think that's self explanatory.)
Jokes aside though. How were people so okay with the "peaceful protests" during the Black Lives Matter thing, but completely different during the Capitol "Riot" ? Like are people that contradictory?
But, if you have friends or family that will support you, learn guns. It's not legal for minors to purchase guns, but minors can use guns and, depending on state, can often even own guns, if given as a gift or such.
I checked, out of curiosity, and in MA 15-18 year olds need a loicence to legally own a gun, which needs parental consent. A minor can also handle a weapon that's not their own, if supervised by a loicenced owner, for the purposes of hunting, recreation, instruction, or sports. Again with parental consent.
It's not a must, because I agree with Nihilist about enjoying your youth...but if guns are something you do enjoy anyway, it's a useful skill to have.
And, as always, be safe! Learn the gun safety rules if you're going to be handling guns. Hell, even if you're not.
If your state still legally allows 80% lowers etc, do that. Otherwise move to a freer state, then get a gun.
Not worth getting red flag banned later or feds knocking at your door.
