Umm this is BS.
In states with 'constitutional carry' laws people can and do carry ar15s around with zero training, and clue to be honest. See our favourite ar15 toting meme Jim Cooley
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...5e0db4-79e9-11e6-bd86-b7bbd53d2b5d_story.html. And then the morons protecting 'freedom' like Kyle Rittenhouse, the guys with guns at the black lives matter protests and the Jan 6th insurrection. It only takes a small % of idiots amongst a 330 million population to ruin it for everyone, and they do.
And before you label me an anti-gun leftie, I shot competitive small and large bore rifle at school.
The statistics pretty much speak for themselves as well. European countries such as Switzerland and Finland have high levels of gun ownership due to their army structures, but the storage and use of the weapons is regulated. Thus the level of gun crime is significantly lower per capita compared to the USA.
I can't speak to situation in WA but my mate in the army over there wasn't too keen on hunting because of the risk from the other hunters.
