Fact is an overwhelming majority of the general public is vastly undereducated in the subject and they show no willingness to educate themselves. That’s what were up against.
A little short story, for what it’s worth. I’m from a pretty rural area and recently attended a get together where someone arranged for a guy to bring us all out skeet shooting. Long story short of the 15 people that attended a good 12-13 of them had never handled a gun before, or even knew where the safety was located and how to operate it. I was shocked and embarrassed for them. None of these people were “anti-gun” however I can say with confidence they wouldn’t care about any new gun laws because it simply doesn’t affect them, nor would they even know how/what the law effects. It’s a matter of education at this point and in my belief it needs to start at the grade school level with basic safety procedures if you were to come across a firearm, and hopefully that develops into some general knowledge of the subject.
Theirs’s no hope left here in MA, just have to stock up on what you can get for the time being. We’re dealing with Linsky, Warren, Healey… we all know there will be others in their footsteps. Now they’re saying Moulton is considering a white house run.
