Every gun owner I've interacted with is incredibly educated on safety. Just because the media portrays gun owners as slack jawed yokels doesn't mean that the majority of gun owners aren't educated.

As much as the media would like to portray it is not one sided. There are plenty of progressives who just want background checks and point of sale laws at a national level.

I don't think it's entirely one sided - there's so much stupidity it makes my brain hurt.

I fear that the NRA and gun fetishism is going to end up restricting firearms enormously and it's entirely because of bullshit like bump stocks, c-mags and 3d printed garbage are going to put more vegas shooters - you remember, Stephen Paddock fired more than 1,000 rounds, killing 60 people[a] and wounding at least 413. The ensuing panic brought the total number of injured to approximately 867 - thanks to easy access for all you need to kill and wound hundreds.
