ofcourse i understand your point of protecting your fam
im saying there are alternatives to protecting your fam
as well as you gotta realize alot of dudes are out here on an ego trip when they buy a gun.
most people's reasoning when buyin a gun has nothing to do with protecting their family and home
its too easy to get a gun in places like Detroit and New Jersey.
think about this shyt happened in the suburbs of CT
most guns crimes in NJ and Detroit stem from economical reasons
drug dealers buy guns not to hurt people. to protect someone takin they money.
somebody brake in yo house witta gun to take money or possesions that cost money.doesnt make them a violent person neccessarily
its all in they mind. they think they need a gun when really tey dont
people buy guns because in they mind its a way of protection when its not
not sayin you personally
but how many dudes out here sayin the same exact thing you sayin?
but dont even have a fam or home to protect?
or these people are crazy out here so i gotta protect myself
imo if you a guy who handle his own a gun wont make or break you
but we gotta watch out for the cowards who can just walk in and buy crazy guns n the name of "protecting" theyselves
but never been in any danger in they life.
this is a big problem, Guns DO cater to ego's but that's cuz they are such a powerful force.
Think about your first time getting a cap gun, or playing First person shooters and mowing down whole crowds how excited you were, how strong you felt lol.
I remember when I got my first weapons id in the Army and got my rifle out the weapons locker for the first time.
It was my first time holding an assault rifle and I was like

but this is where the training part comes in, our Drills would emphasize gun safety like you can't imagine, holding weapons down range at all times, weapon on safe at all times etc. etc. I seen a drill kick a soldier in the head on the weapons range

Basically i think that the consensus on here is stricter accountability of weapons and more intensive better quality training.
