When I was but a lad ... going to George Washington High School in Alexandria,VA in the early 1950s, our school had a rifle club ... and a rifle range in the high school basement. Gasp! How could this be? Didn’t the students shoot each other or turn into terrorists?
No, they learned gun safety, how to handle and clean weapons ... and marksmanship ... all Second Amendment qualities we used to cherish. And maybe helpful to those classmates who ended up in Vietnam.
Now, if we are unlucky enough to enter into another war, I doubt if we will be able to defend ourselves quite as well. Unless, of course, such conflicts are virtual ... and on an iPad.
