      In a non-glib conversation about guns, as a legal, law-abiding gun owner, I support gun education, but this is in no way a substitute for proper gun control.

      Mass shootings aside, thousands of people die every year because of unsafe storage and handling of guns, and I feel like it's a taboo to talk about guns with peers and family.

      It's important to know what safe gun ownership looks like, to recognize when it's not safe, and to know what to do about it.

      We all know what to do if we encounter a downed power line or smell gas. But the reality is we're SUBSTANTIALLY more likely to be killed or injured by a gunshot.

      I've posted pictures of myself here shooting guns. And while it freaks out people on the far right, the reality is every one of those pictures is taken at a shooting range in the presence of a range safety officer.

          This is a really good way to get acquainted with gun safety, and you can go to a local public range and rent a gun for not that much money. I recommend it for the simple sake of knowing what they feel like, how to safe them, etc.

          We have 100,000,000+ guns in this country. We need to be as aware of gun safety as we are about smelling gas leaks and avoiding downed power lines. This is not *instead* of gun control. This is a necessary step because gun control isn't gonna happen overnight.

          Anyhow, I often talk and teach about gun safety to folks, because I want them to feel comfortable knowing that I'm a gun owner, to feel confident that if *I* make a mistake they'll know how to see it and catch me on it.

          My ideal world, there's no need for guns. I want to get to that world. Until then, I have a shitload of evidence of people plotting to murder me and I need to make sure I can keep my home safe.

          (legal note: nothing in this post or any prior should be taken to imply that I train people with firearms for the purposes of political action or the obstruction of any function)
