Fuck dude, it's all so goddamned depressing. The only sliver of hope I have is that I can pass my knowledge to my kids and teach them better much younger. Hopefully enough people do this sort of thing that we might finally pull ourselves out of our bullshit ignorance. I know it's worth nothing, but I'm sorry all the same.

I think you're correct. We were taught about manifest destiny but not the genocide of Native Americans, and that's just one instance of the institutionalized racism we were taught was good. SO MANY PEOPLE never grew out of that or tried to be better.

I was also gifted firearms as a child. They were kept inside a locked safe that I didn't have the combination for when not being used for hunting or target shooting. As much as I enjoy guns, hunting, and shooting, I can also see that responsibility goes beyond "it's guaranteed in the constitution" or equivalent bullshit.

Drag queen story times are of the devil! ( The Christians say while attending church where someone dresses up and reads stories).

Except responsible gun owners wouldn't buy their child a gun and give them access to it whenever they please. Any firearms I may or may not possess would be locked in a safe which no one but any spouse I may hypothetically have had access to. Unfortunately I lost all my firearms in a tragic boating accident a few years back.

What I'm trying to say is that, while the government shouldn't be allowed to come check that people have their guns locked up when not in use, there should absolutely be repercussions for anyone found to not be doing so.
