I Was Taught How To Use A Gun

I've fired lots of different types of guns. It's a huge responsibility to even handle a gun let along own one. Then there's the concept of carrying it around as a concealed carry which makes me feel like I'd need a hundred times more practice and safety training to walk around safely with a handgun at my hip.

I just took a concealed carry class for 16 hours and it covered the basics. The laws, safety, proper draw to shooting motions, morality of when to shoot, and accuracy. It was the basics of the basics.

Again I've shot a lot of different guns from a potato gun to an Ak 47. I feel like the generally population of people in America haven't so much as held a gun let along learned gun safety. It makes me wonder how people can be so judgemental towards guns when they have never took the time to handle them. (you can go to classes to learn how to shoot or just go to a local shooting range and pay for their ammo and borrow guns potentially). I would highly recommend it. Just like I wouldn't judge the sjw or lgbt people without walking side by side with them, I did and most of them are nice but there are a few bad apples that make them all look rotten.

@IAmMaster

The point I was trying to make was not what drives socialism but what drives or pushes people towards socialism.
The tribal us against them. The lust for their wealth. Though I guess it would depend on the economic climate.

When in fact, where socialism actually worked, is in countries, where social justice, not greed, was the motivator. Examples: Scandinavian countries, Holland, and where it mostly works: France, England, etc.

Russia was full of poor serfs that were starving, had no breed while their leaders were eating cake so they fell into socialism quite easily. It's still a greed for what others have, though it's justified in that instance.

No, it's a struggle to get paid a fair price, for what they've earned. There is a difference, and socialism is not what they ended up with, they got Communism, which is quite different.

In America we seem to be having lots of socialists popping up in the millennial generation. I think it's because they are taught the use against them idea. I've seen many college professors teaching pathetic economics(communism) in their lectures.

It may come as a shock to you, but teaching Communism, is one of the economic systems, Professors of Economics, are supposed to teach. If they don't, they're not doing their job. How would you like to take a course on the Civil War, only to have your professor exclude slavery?

What theory? I said people's REACTIONS will change if they understood or took educational classes and were shown how to shoot at a gun range.

Exactly. That's your theory, not supported by facts, and it tries to connect two orthogonal issues.

In this I was just describing the process of maturing through profound experiences. Eye opening events. Things like that.

Real important, eye opening events, are happening on regular basis. They mostly involve mass shootings. This is ORTHOGONAL to getting yourself educated on gun safety, or popping a few rounds at a shooting range.

Could you please go through and read what I've said in an unbiased way.

It's completely pointless to reply if you don't take the time to read what the other person has to say.

When guns are outlawed, only the outlaws will have guns. Being a gun owner is not a privilege, its a responsibility.
You were raised well.
Today's violence isn't a gun problem, it's a lack of respect problem..

IAmMaster · 31-35, M

@Quimliqer totally agree. When a law is passed if I never did anything wrong but then when I wake up in the morning I'm a criminal... then something just isn't right.
