    I mean. I have a lot of guns (mostly inherited), but mu family taught me safety, storage, etc. No crazy mods, just magazines, grips and such. Meanwhile my friends when they turned 18 were packing in their pants and shooting eouble barreled derringers and shit. Another friend and I took them to a range and had to teach them safety so they wouldn’t hurt themselves.

      I totally agree with your comment that I replied to. But I also know that making literally anything a requirement for gun ownership is a bridge too far for enough gun owners that I am doubtful we’re going to see any meaningful new restrictions anytime soon.

      At least until the right stops salivating for a second civil war, but even that might not be enough for some sane attitudes to prevail.
