re: #226 Political Atheist

By “we” I mean those who actually understand how gun safety training happens, want it to happen and who appreciate the desire for a gun, not just the need. Want and need are personal decisions by the individuals or families involved. There is self defense and then there is all those target and hunting sports. And subsistence hunting in our remote areas.

I appreciate the desire for a gun, I just don’t think it’s very important compared to the safety implications. The ‘self-defense’ argument is what I’m particularly talking about, since most people do not have any need of a gun for self-defense.

I wonder how many people actually know crime rates have plummeted?
