    I wish more people understood that violent crime happens and responsibly protecting your family, and knowing what that means and how to really do it, is a very sensible thing to do.

    I also wish that our people in general were smarter, wealthier, and less stressed out so that violent crime and firearm accidents would diminish. That would take actual social reform though, which is way harder and less catchy than “ban things ban things!”

      Can ban all the guns and there will still be guns. I know people forget about this a lot but I lived in Baltimore, gun trafficking/illegal gun sales were super common.
