I didn't see a thread on this issue and thought it was an interesting topic. I get it that a sponsored shooter should not publicly make gun control statements. It's even worse, because it's not like she offered meaningful suggestions. She just made blanket statements that sound like Nancy Pelosi.
She's promptly been booted from Taran Tactical.
I think there was a firestorm a few months back when Pat McNamara said something deemed anti 2a as well.
Having said that, as a 2a community, are we unreasonable in terms of debate. Can a gun owner, celebrity, or spokesperson make statements or offer ideas on the debate anything less than no compromise?
I have some ideas that probably aren't popular, but I think they are fair. I think offering a 25% discount off a sage with your first gun purchase instills the importance of securing your firearms. I'm not opposed to a mandatory class before buying a gun, nor more rigid classes for CCW, presuming that completion of the classes guaranteed the license.
On the other hand, I get that those measures could be bastardized and a gateway to more restrictions. So, I don't know.
On the one hand, I'm not opposed to recording my private sales transactions, because it gets me off the hook if that gun is used in a crime. Then again, you see what the Honolulu police just tried to pull off... And that makes me nervous.
I think we all agree that we want responsible, law abiding gun owners. So, as a community, how do we get there? What do we offer? Or... If we say no compromise, an idea I'm not opposed to saying, we have to acknowledge that we're accepting irresponsible and dangerous folks with guns as a result.
Tom, If this is too political, feel free to delete it or move it to the Coterie.
