[ For ages 14 to under 18, there were 3900 deaths due to all causes. Of those 1299 were firearm related. Let me point out that of those 618, the manner of death was determined as suicide. ]

I am truly sorry for those people who feel the need to fix blame for the virus outbreak and somehow punish or hurt an ethnic group. These folks, who blame Asians, are simple minded at best and, IMO, tend to think with their glands rather than their brains.

However, there have been events that by precedents justify both caution and planning on the part of potentially targeted groups. I live paycheck to paycheck and have concerns about my work and income halting. I am certain many Asians have the same concerns. My life conditions and situations do not permit me to have adequate time or resources to train with a firearm. I feel that the individual is probably the best suited and informed for making his own assessments and decisions. I have faith in people.
