Honestly I know a lot of gun people (being a Burgerlander we all know each other) on the right right and left and everywhere between, and the only ones who I knew via demonstration and me shooting with them that were good shots were not the "leave it loaded by my bed side" kind of people and were instead the "keep my guns and ammo in different safes in different places" kind of people.
So yeah basically it turns out at least in my experience that irresponsible people demonstrably suck especially in the gun department.
.
Most red states privatize land so conservatives can really just consoom gun and not train in any dynamic environment. You can find posts of dudes moving to Texas from California or PNW and realizing there’s no public land lol
Once again, the adage of Americans have the freedom to buy is true.
And it will be eternally hilarious when it happens and that it keeps happening.
1)Moves to place because it is run by reactionary shitheads
2)Realizes place is shit because of the shitheads
Sucks to suck
I mean the Swiss have a vibrant gun culture and they store their equipment separately and have few mass shootings.
They have all their national service stuff but they also have surprisingly lax options for private ownership of guns and ammunition as well (basically just a background check no registries or significant restrictions). It’s just only a small number of people actually do it.
I was lead to believe that privately owned firearms had to be stored under lock and key at a gun club at all times when they were not being used?
It’s been a while since I looked into but I think it’s not a rule at a national level, but the canton police have significant flexibility on whether they approve applications for semi-automatic rifles and handguns. So one place might have requirements that another might not.
But for all manually operated firearms it’s pretty cruise-y.
Edit: the more I look into there’s lot of different permits with overlap, shall issue or must issue etc. Swiss bureaucracy. Etc. But I guess my point is like if a persons want a pump action shotgun or a bolt action rifle they’d get it very quickly, and be able to keep it at home with ammo, for more complicated guns it might be harder.
There's also such a thing as having the right tool for the job. It's one guy- has nobody heard of a scoped bolt action???
He was using a scoped AK but someone saw his gun before he could pop a shot lol
It might have been an sks
Yeah the best shots I've known were the dudes who treated it like a fun hobby, not like they were prepping for IRL Fallout.
