You comment is very confusing. I understand not supporting the gun restrictions introduced in the last 5 years, but why would you oppose the buyback program? If the government makes a citizen's property illegal to own, they should compensate the citizen.

All the data shows that law abiding gun owners aren’t much of the problem.

FTFY. Also, the issue (generally) isn't gun owners, it's their guns that get stolen, misused, etc.

Doubling down on this when we our sovereignty is threatented is just straight bonkers.

Irrelevant and nonsensical. Individual gun owners have no impact on preserving our sovereignty. Modern militaries are on a different level than "A well regulated Militia" or whatever other 2A BS this is.

And switzerland but I guess they all have military training.

The training is what we need to promote, for sure.

I don't have a firm enough position on gun control to want it costing us money right now.

I would actually support mandatory basic training. As long as they don't make me cut my hair. Lol

Ditto on both points. I'm genuinely struggling with the prospect of having to shorten my beard if I joined the reserves. I've been working for years to train/develop it into a distinctive style and I'm not even there yet.

My hair is almost down to my ass and I wouldn't cut it for any reason lol
