minus-squareThatGuy46475@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up47·4 days agoIf you can’t be trusted with a gun you shouldn’t be in the military. No more of this “you’re an adult only when it’s convenient for us” crap.
minus-squareover_clox@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up23·4 days agoI shot myself in the arm at age 3 with a pellet gun. I learned to use a rifle at age 10, with full out safety training. I learned to fix guns in machine shop at age 17. As much as I’ve learned about weapons in my life, I still don’t trust 93% of people with access to them.
minus-squareMyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up23·4 days agoI mean… in the military you get training and supervision. Us civies can just walk out the shop with a brand new rifle: no training, few questions asked.
minus-squareKecessa@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up16·4 days agoRequiring training and a license to own a gun? That would go to court as being unconstitutional.
minus-squarethe_crotch@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 days agoThat’s been the case in Connecticut since Sandy Hook, and so far nobody has successfully challenged it

minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-22 days agoThat’s kinda the point of The BSA/GSA. Unfortunately these days scouting seems to be mostly arts and crafts, rather than outdoorsman training.
minus-squarekerrigan778@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoI mean, there’s a difference between trusted with a gun while supervised and trusted to have a gun at your disposal 24/7 without supervision.
minus-squarecm0002@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·4 days agoYea, my opinions of you need to be X or Y age to do A or B boils down to: “IDC, just pick one got dang number and stick to it”

Then provide training?
