    We aren’t rich but there is something called karma. Treat other peoples children like your own. No harm done to any child. No matter how rich or poor, weird or not weird, healthy or not, or no matter what race. If everyone did this, then a child about to break down might be saved. This planet earth is large enough for all of us. It’s easier said than done. It is stressful for children growing up especially with all the social media, school shootings, Covid, isolation and etc.

      @@rickallen1908 Well regulated, in the context of when it was written means in working order or effective shape to fight. And if you think only muskets were around in 1791, you are mistaken... ex. The Puckle Gun patented in 1718... "The Puckle gun firing mechanism is similar to a conventional flintlock musket. After each shot, a crank on the rear of the threaded shaft that runs through the cylinder is turned, allowing the cylinder to be rotated by hand to the next chamber." sounds a bit like the early works of a gatling gun to me....

Personally, I would like to see universal background checks, an age raise to 21 in order to purchase long guns, and mandatory courses for those who wish to carry. HB 1927 completely ignores the importance of training by allowing individuals to carry without a LTC. In my opinion, that isn’t sensible legislation, granted, it was passed in 2021.

      @@sarahronda-mendoza2802 it’s sensible when you contextualize that personal gun ownership is limited to pistol, rifle and shotgun. Anything beyond was heavily restricted in 1986. Rifles and shotguns cannot be carried in any state unless unloaded. Age 18 for all things considering that’s what constitutes an adult legally; otherwise, raise the age for military service and all things parallel. Make anyone under 21 a juvenile. Continue private sales since it’s a legitimate industry and any sale prior to a crime is investigated as a coconspirator. Social services created to support courses, permitting and licensing so it’s free for any citizen to receive training for any weapon. Effectively putting all weapons back on the market. Elective courses available earlier with accreditation as part of secondary education and college. Making more people more knowledgeable and more responsible.

      I’m with you, guns are for people with a blood lust… if as a gun owner you start out thinking responsibly, you will eventually begin to imagine shooting someone to defend yourself. So every trip to the gun range and pull of the trigger releases adrenaline that feeds the addiction and irrational defense for owning a gun. You become part of a mental and physical feedback loop.
