@samlitzinger At one point rural guns were not the same level of threat as urban guns, ie, a. mIllion people living in close proximity to one another.
When I was growing up in the 60s, suburbs of DC (rural Md) we had guns, and hunted with them, no big deal, but you could not carry a gun as a matter of routine just because. The issues are: guns achieve worship status, fist fights became gun fights, and daily mass shootings. We have a problem and we must consider mental health in the equation. 🤔
