One of the character traits of republicans is narcissism, and people who suffer from it think that everything they do is outstanding., they love themselves too much to ever consider their stupidity.

(258,716 posts)I learned to shoot at summer camp and was on two rifle teams in my teens, camp and at school. No one carried guns anywhere, when we weren't at the range they were locked up. And we had to learn and understand specific safety rules before being allowed to pick up a gun. And one unwritten, but very strict rule, was to never shoot anything living. And the only accident I ever witnessed over the years was when the bamboo curtain that blocked off the open part of the camp range fell just as one of the older girls was preparing to shoot - and there was a series of evenly spaced holes in that curtain after that.
Everyone took gun use seriously, but that was a long time ago. The range at camp is gone now - as is the one at my former school. And when I looked at the schools that we used to compete against, not one of the has a rifle team anymore, even the military schools. Times have irrevocably changed.

(11,275 posts)I loved going to the range. From age 12-15.
It was at McCoy Air Force Base. We could probably line up 20 kids at a time. Single shot .22's. We'd be given an unloaded gun, a box of 25 bullets, strict protocols on carrying/handling and two paper targets. Safety was paramount. There wasn't a negative incident, ever.
These people are mentally ill. The NRA has to be reigned in. Maybe a mother's march on their headquarters. With dads and others. Every day. Until congress treats them like a hot potato. (One can dream...)
