I do not own a gun, nor do I hunt, and honestly I don't so either of those changing.
As a future social worker who will undoubtedly be conducting home visits and working with people who have gone through a crisis or are experiencing hard ships, I want to feel safe.
I am so excited about working in the community and helping people, but it would just be nice if the Rifle people (NRA) actually worked in those settings, and could experience that atmosphere.
When walking into a client's home there will always be a small unsettling fear about them having guns and of course all the "what if's"... What if I happen to be the social worker that has to remove the child for the home or the social worker or the social worker who has to re-voke probation or report the drug abuse....
Don't miss read me, Americans should have the right to protect their themselves, but who in the world needs an assault rifle and all the clips or magazines that hold all those bullets. (Sorry about the gun lingo, I know it's bad) If an intruder comes into your home and threatens violence, yes you have a right to protect yourself, I get that! But when is America going to say enough is enough with all the mass shootings and teens killing teens?
Here are my thoughts, make the process in buying a gun a little harder, do a very through background check. Once the person obtains the gun require so many hours of shooting range time. They should also have to keep their gun education, like continuing education credits. (Most professions have to keep CEU's). In all reality people who want a gun will always find away, wether legal or illegal.
