30. Most gun owners now days, do not have a clue about how far a bullet can travel.

Perhaps, we need to start some gun groups that are more inline with our beliefs. These accidents didn’t happen nearly so frequently when actual safety classes were taught. People can be taught how to safely own firearms. This occurrence in my opinion was stupidity and not an accident. The NRA is completely useless now that’s it simply a Russian supported entity. Just like other movements though the gun fanatic group could be co-opted by us. With more guns than population it would be easier than trying to get rid of them completely and for now more effective.
