Sigh... I think I want to buy a firearm. (updated)

Original post below this one.

Wow, thank you all for the great advice. I agree that, getting a gun might actually just enable and increase the stress. Plus, you guys calmed me about the fears of the crazies on the right actually doing something.

Big dog might just be the key.

But here's the problem. I suffer from bipolar disorder. My wife suffers from borderline personality disorder.

We just moved to a new neighborhood. Stress sets in because of unfamiliarity. We've only met two neighbors so far and they're great! But still, we're in the city now.

Add to this stress the impending stress of our nation becoming as divided as it is. I won't be surprised to expect Trumpers taking up arms in a foolish way. And I fear that if the worst happens and I must barricade our home, we don't want to have only knives and bats.

I guess I'm seeking an opinion. Should we avoid firearms because of our mental issues? Should we let the anxiety subside and rely on other hone security methods?

Thank you for your time.

My advice to the DUmpster dwellers is to live in fear. The Trump voters are coming for you! Start prepping now and spend every last penny you have stocking up on food and propane tanks. It's the only thing that matters right now!
Just stay in the city. It's really dangerous out in the country with all the Trump voters.
I would suggest NYC or Chicago. People aren't allowed to have guns in these places as a general rule, so you will be safe.
I'd cut the internet too. You know the Trump voters are spying on you so they know your every move.
Do it now before it's too late!
