Disagree. I’m not from the US, so maybe guns being seen as fun is more of a cultural issue in not aware of, but plenty of weapons are seen as fun here in the UK. And while we do have gun crime, I think firearms are seen differently here vs the US.
People will go axe throwing for fun. With Scouts, we shot air rifles on camp a number of times (supervised by people who knew what they were doing). Knife throwing is also a thing. Clay Pigeon shooting is also not uncommon here.
I genuinely believe using a weapon on a (non-living) target is fun for a lot of normal, well adjusted people.
obligatory firearm safety reminder:
only by holding each other accountable can we make sure that everyone stays safe and has fun.
Thanks. I’ve never owned, fired, or even held a gun.
I have no intention to. I knew most of these, but I’m glad to see it officially written out like this.
If I’m ever in the position where I need to handle a gun, I can do so more safely then I would have before.
Good work. Keep that shit up.
Calling a firearm “fun” is already part of the problem
