Gun Control & RKBA

(1,663 posts)I grew up around people who owned guns, hunted, and were in the military. They never ever behaved the way I see gun owners behaving now. They did not leave guns out in the open around kids, they did not take kids to gun shows, they did not hang guns on the walls, they did not treat guns like toys, they did not brag about owning guns or even carry them around everywhere.
Guns were locked away and only used when necessary as for hunting. This whole gun ownership thing has turned into a freak show and become very irresponsible. Posting pictures of themselves and bragging about carrying and being ready to kill is just cowardly and shows a lack of common sense.
I am not against gun ownership but there needs to be better licensing and tracking of who owns what. Too many loose cannons running around armed these days.
