  • I’m not gonna try and convince you or anything. I’m pretty spotty on it now that I have kids, but also I live in a city now, so there’s not much of a point.

    But I grew up where we got out of school for the first day of deer season. I would go hunting and fishing with every member of my family. Deer, quail, rabbit, turkey, duck, you name it. We’d pluck and skin em, process the meat and eat it for as long as we could. Less people hunt now and deer pops have been getting out of control. Not to mention the natural predators we have here, like cougars, coyotes, bears, snakes, goddamn hogs.

    I believe guns are extremely necessary tools in rural America. But firearm safety was taught as hard as the gospel. That shit was drilled into us from as soon as we could understand words, for years before we could hold them. Turning 11 and going through hunter’s safety and then first buck was a rite of passage

    I’m gonna compare it to sex ed here. If people are gonna have it, you may as well teach them everything possible about doing it safely.
