        Even if you’re not a billionaire, there are plenty of consumer-grade non/less-lethal self-defense tools available, I’m sure her security could get the military-grade shit though. It would be a nice change of pace to see her actually fight for anything worthwhile, she’s so influential she could change the world overnight. All I’ve ever seen her fight for is more money.
