re: #166 Political Atheist

His state might not have strong requirements, it should.

But that’s my point. Most states, I’m finding, don’t. Or rather, the states with the highest gun ownership have, unsurprisingly, the most permissive and incredibly goddamn lax CCW laws. It is goddamn ridiculous.

It is ridiculous to me to allow people to even have a gun in their house without more training than 15 hours worth. These are not fucking toys, they’re not ego-accessories, and that’s how they’re being treated. If these gun owners— the ones who are not even bothering to get thoroughly-trained and retrained constantly— are not taking their gun ownership seriously enough to do that, I see no reason why I should take their gun ownership seriously either.

I made people spend a lot more than fifteen fucking hours training as boxers before I let them spar with each other.

This has been a serious wake-up call for me.
