I would like people to read it in its entirety, nothing else. Think how life would be without the rhetoric rants and funding of the NRA and those who stand with them.
I don’t actually think reading the entirety helps anything. The constitution is constantly being interpreted by the Supreme Court so their opinions (as someone linked above) carry more weight than whatever you or I or Joe Gun Nut interprets as the point.
Ah but of course that guy is brown. It’s not any good guy with a gun that’ll save us all… its a good WHITE guy with a gun.
I grew up in a house without guns, and it wasn’t an issue in my area. My husband grew up with and around hunters. He is now a hunter himself.
Before he got his hunting license we talked about how he was going to store his gun and bow (locked up, unloaded). He mostly bow hunts, so he doesn’t use his gun very often, and taking it out/putting it away is a whole thing.
My concern is that your husband doesn’t sound like he’s at all interested in responsible gun ownership. He literally wants to carry around a loaded, deadly weapon, in your home and in public, with your child present. I know this, because if his primary reason for the gun is protecting his family from attacks, then it would need to be loaded and on him at all times.
What’s he going to do with it when he’s sleeping? What if he lays down on the couch and it’s uncomfortable and he wants to take it off? Or when he’s driving?
The problem with carrying a loaded deadly weapon is that you become desensitized to that fact that IT’S A LOADED DEADLY WEAPON. At some point, he’s going to leave it casually on the counter and your son will have access to it.
You should choose not to put your child in that situation.
