I do not, nor have ever owned a gun, but we boys were all taught gun safety and did some small game hunting all under the supervision of our WWII military-trained fathers.
Everyone I knew and grew up with had hunting guns in their homes. A favorite high school shop project was a locking gun rack. Ours had a couple of .22s, an over/under 12 gauge, a double barreled 12 gauge, and my Grandma’s 4.10.
Every boy in town knew proper gun safety and hunted occasionally. At that time no girls (other than my Grandma!) hunted. But that has changed favorably since.
To my knowledge, no gun crime has ever been committed in my home town or surrounding counties. But then it is a conservative community
The most profitable years for most gun and ammunition manufacturers were during Democratic administrations because gun lovers felt the need to stock up thinking the Dems were going to take their guns away.
Several manufacturers were close to bankruptcy during Trump’s administration.
Now, in 2023 there are more gun manufacturers in the U.S. than ever before.
It is a sad state of affairs when gun sales are so driven by politics, although Taiwan is training more civilians in gun safety and use than ever before.
At the start of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine citizens were disappointed that the civilian population didn’t have more guns.
The Media readily admitted their most profitable years were when Trump was President. CNN especially profited. The very first word spoken on any broadcast news was “Trump.”
Most often Trump’s name continues to lead. For Trump, any news is good publicity news.
Dividing the nation is a profitable business plan for media, and BOTH parties.
