If 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.
I 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.
Then provide training?
Requiring training and a license to own a gun? That would go to court as being unconstitutional.
So just proliferate free training to as many people as possible.
That's kinda the point of The BSA/GSA. Unfortunately these days scouting seems to be mostly arts and crafts, rather than outdoorsman training.
That's been the case in Connecticut since Sandy Hook, and so far nobody has successfully challenged it
I 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.
Yea, 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"
I 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.
