    Honestly, government officials should be afraid of their constituents so they stop screwing us over. Actions have consequences in the real world.

      So you think Trump and his cronies should be afraid for how they gave billions in COVID “relief” funds to corporations and pennies to average Americans?

      You don’t need a bunch of people that probably should have restricted access to power tools let alone firearms to do that.

        Part of it is that we’ve lost the tradition of teaching kids how to handle firearms. We need to bring back shooting classes in school and parents need to teach their children safe practices around guns and other dangerous devices.

          I’m all for teaching gun safety but just like school shooter drills it just teaches the kids how to do it better if they really want to

          Nah, I’m old enough to remember when schools still did that and most of the people that went through it that I know shouldn’t be trusted with anything that has more range than a butter knife. Some people just shouldn’t have guns.
