I said I was a gun owner because it directly contradicted your moronic binary thinking were people can only fit in one of 2 boxes.
Okay go ahead...
And how do gun safety courses ban private sales?
Common criminals are not the only gun deaths. For crimes of passion, requiring a short term barrier to ownership usually leaves time for that passion to subside. For suicide, requiring a short term barrier is often insurmountable for someone that is depressed. But most importantly, for gun safety, a lot of dip shits with guns have zero idea what they are doing and are a danger to everyone even if they don't intend to be. The same people that will argue up and down that mandatory gun safety is too far, will also argue that gun safety courses make guns safer and we should allow all guns because good people with guns train themselves and take it seriously. It's usually just the mandatory part that bothers them.
I agree with the entire second half of your comment, from "pay teachers" to "end qualified immunity". They aren't mutually exclusive though.
