Anyway, I'm personally pro-gun in some respects, mainly that as long as the rich elite and the police get to have them then the poorest among us should as well, especially minority groups. I think it's fine to own a gun to hunt. I think it's fine to own a gun to defend your home. I think it's fine to own a gun because you like to go to the range and practice your marksmanship. I think that's all perfectly fine.

But that doesn't mean there can't be laws and regulations and practices that hold gun owners more accountable for their safe storage and keep them away from schools and out of the hands of literal children.

And as a teacher I abhor the thought of ever even knowing there's a gun in my classroom. Arming teachers is the worst possible solution to the problem I've ever heard, and I'm appalled that some people actually said the quiet part out loud in this topic: they're okay with teachers shooting children in their ideal world.

Also gun enthusiasm is perfectly fine but gun culture is cringe. I'm talking about the conventions with concealed carry fashion shows and don't tread on me flags at every vendor. That shit is toxic and can go away. The NRA should be seized, gutted, and its shareholders prosecuted. Take all of their money. Funnel it all towards the victims of gun violence and towards gun violence prevention.
