Hello, @galenkp

I have a very close bond with weapons. Even at one stage in my life, I coordinated arms sales in my country. I'd have reason enough to share your passion for firearms. In fact, I am the owner of several. However, weapons for me are just other tools in today's world; They are neither good nor bad, they are just tools without morality.

In this sense, I believe that citizens have the right to wear them, and consequently, they are also responsible for their use. A kitchen knife can be just as deadly as a Glock 22 hit. And I don't see political elites being focused on regulating and restricting kitchen knife sets. LOL.

Outside of joking, I hope your friend with the experience next weekend, understands the responsible reasoning of those who love guns and change the stereotype that demonizes those who practice this useful hobby.
