AND THIS SEEMS COMPLETELY REASONABLE.
No sarcasm. I feel the national POV of the USA is just sick.
Have you noticed that the NRA has been absolutely silent since the tyrannical government they've been warning us about for years actually came to pass?
In Canada you are required to take 16 hours of training then pass a written exam and a practical exam before being licensed.
I love it.
And, yes. I have noticed that. I also noticed that once their funding from Russian sources was noted they backed off quite a bit as well.
That is completely reasonable and the person you're screaming at is Canadian. 16 year olds are perfectly capable of being responsible with long guns like a .22 rifle. This depends on the kid and the parents.
If you are a vegan and a pacifist on ethical grounds, I get it. But, hunting is a like a basic human thing. View the gun as a neat but dangerous tool that requires training.
We're talking about traditional patterns of rural gun use you even find all over Europe. These are not AR-15 killer sewing machines, they're old school long guns with most of them not even being semi-automatic.
I know. They made that clear. And I feel it is reasonable.
Hunting is a practice in self-sufficiency and prey animal control that saves lives. Respect but not fetishizing guns is the POV that I appreciate.
Sorry if my statement was taken the opposite of my intention.
Oh dang. Sorry to bitch at you, I misunderstood.
I was TRYING to clarify in my second sentence in that first post as I thought it might get misconstrued…. Oh well.
No biggie. Caps tripped me up, also was tired.
I love Lemmy. This would have been a shitty interaction on Reddit.
Have a great day!
