I’d say buy a gun but get training.

Gun control should be mandated safety handling of firearms.

“Gun control should be mandated safety handling of firearms.”

before I let anyone go with me to the range to shoot my guns I require them to listen to my 25 minute gun safety lecture. It is quite sufficient. If you are new to firearms just seek out an experienced and responsible shooter or hunter and they can tell you what you need to know with regard to gun safety.

Mandated by who?

Huh? I got all the training I needed to handle a gun safely in 10 minutes at summer camp when I was 9 years old, at the same time as dozens of other boys. Guns are pretty simple, 18th century technology, and someone with a modicum of common sense could teach himself to handle a gun safely by reading the manual.

The idea that guns are frightening, complex mysteries, that can only be even touched after expensive and elaborate "training" is a leftist one.
