I actively participate in the shooting club at my college, regularly practicing with shotguns and handguns on weekends. In doing so, I've gained valuable knowledge about gun safety and responsible ownership.
The current issues America faces stem from our inability to maintain domestic tranquility by striking a balance between rights and responsibilities.
A mob doesn't equate to a militia. It's crucial for the majority of gun owners, who practice responsible ownership and advocate for stronger regulations, to raise their voices. The vocal, tyrannical minority of gun extremists has misrepresented all gun owners for far too long. This doesn't reflect a society that upholds and encourages responsibility. We have to do better to make sure guns don’t get into the wrong hands and we also have to address why someone wants to kill others in the first place too.
Gun laws don’t work? Why hasn’t Australia had a school shooting since 2012? How about the UK which was 1996? Last I checked they don’t have armed teachers in every school or allow guns on campus. Pretty sure they also have bad guys and doors and mentally ill people too.
A generation of kids has grown up with the belief that guns make you more safe & powerful, the gun lobby’s deadly lies.
We know the opposite is true.
It’s no surprise that firearms are now the leading cause of death for children in America.
CPD would like to take time to highlight National Crime Victims Rights Week (NCVRW). The theme for 2022's NCVRW focuses on enforcing victim's rights, expanding access to services, and ensuring inclusion and equity for all https://t.co/fpe6beO2io
NEW: Most U.S. gun owners say they own firearms to protect themselves & their loved ones, surveys show. But a new study published suggests people who live with handgun owners are shot to death at a higher rate than those who don't have weapons at home.

Love is well worth the investment so let’s keep doing it Life Lovers! Let’s end senseless gun violence (SGV) - and live! #StayLockedAndLoadedWithLove ♥️
Situational awareness will keep you alive way better than gun skills. Gun skills are still good though, but they often come into play just because you screwed-up the rest of it. Read the human terrain first, then do it again, then keep doing it.
Today marks 10 years since the Tucson shooting where @GabbyGiffords and 18 others were shot. From that day on, Gabby has dedicated her life to fighting for gun violence prevention and a safer America for all. We are so proud to be fighting alongside you.
