This is why is a good idea to have an armed citizenry and well-regulated militias operating with transparency.
I agree, and I still feel much of our country's gun safety issues are educational and cultural issues, rather than permission itself.
I do NOT believe in mandatory military service, but I do think our citizens should be much better taught in how to be useful, reasonably disciplined, and coordinated human beings, to themselves and others. This shouldn't be just "soldier training."
Emergency management, wound care, and team coordination should not be "specialized training." Then maybe sense would become more common and organized, sane militias would be viable.
Instead, things like "wearing a mask above your nose" and "not shooting yourself in the foot" are excused by "lack of specialized training." Good Lord, I weep for the species.
Human beings are incredibly capable, and on the whole we've let ourselves be domesticated into consumer cattle...
I believe education is constantly gutted by these loons WHILE they push the gun-religion and rugged-individualist narrative so that the uneducated 'muricans FEEL tough, but stay effectively powerless to coordinate a resistance to actual tyranny.
Hell, they can't even recognize it right in front of them anymore, or in their hearts and minds.
But hey, let's keep our chins up! Maybe leftist gun ownership will be a cool symbol of freedom now, and we can openly mock the neolib "only cops should be able to protect you" disarmament fairytale.
Transparency?
Transparency: noun. The quality of being done in an open way without secrets.
Example: "the DHHS office was being operated without any transparency. That is until we walked in on the Secretary in the conference room fully nude, savagely defiling the corpses of various large mammals as he quaffed a goblet of raw sewage water."
Sorry this has to be spelled out for you, but I was questioning what he meant by transparency as it applies to the subject.
