If taser training includes being tased, gun training should include being shot.

Every gun owner should watch the front row video of what guns do to a human body.

That’s pretty extreme. Also you can buy a taser without training in the US, so your point doesn’t even stand.

And when that person is Charlie Kirk it’s a beautiful thing.

Yup, I did. Now what? Am I supposed to feel bad that an asshole died?
NewPerspective@lemmy.world 19 hours ago
No, but there was a shooting of 3 innocent students in Colorado today and now you know what happened to them. And the Uvalde students… Dozens of them…

And disarming the working class while fascism runs amuck won’t do a damn thing for them.

Meanwhile, your “working class” is armed to the teeth and fascism is still running amok.

You’re right, we already have a goal. There’s no way we can do 2 things at once or one after another… Just impossible. Thank you for your insight.

How do you know the 3 students shot weren’t also assholes?

Not that I disagree per se, but this just sounds like the STD powerpoint from middle school health class: useless by itself.

Tell me you got an STD without telling me you got an STD…

Thing is most gun owners who hunt know. I saw a man shot at close range when I was in my early twenties. I wasn’t involved, just passenger in a car nearby when it happened. The next day there was nothing about it in the papers. Nothing at all. This guy gets shot and no one cared.
I shot pigs for slaughter at close range right between the eyes when I was ten or eleven years old. All us kids took a turn and in some ways it was a good thing. Its good you know where meat comes from. Only a fool would think that shooting a person isn’t going to result in a large amount of blood. That shot was in a region of the body that has closely grouped large arteries and veins. No surprise there was so much blood. Anyone who is surprised should be thankful they have never seen something like that before.
I saw that video of the man shooting himself in those faces of death videos back in the 90’s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._Budd_Dwyer I felt bad about it because they said he was a good man. As for Kirk I feel very little. His words have made me care very little for him. Similar to how I felt when that healthcare guy got deleted.
I realize I may be more desensitized to the things like this than most. At least I hope so.

I have never seen a person get shot in person (I’ve seen those videos too) but I have hunted pigs and kangaroos, bullet wounds really aren’t portrayed well in media.
What’s funny to me is that American conservatives will argue that you can’t have guns in Australia. You can. We have guns and… no school shootings. No politicians being assassinated.
Charlie Kirk spouted all kinds of bullshit about my country. I’m very happy he won’t be doing that anymore.

It is. It really should be a prerequisite for gun ownership: you have to kill something.
That is a threshold I can’t personally cross, so I don’t think should own a gun (i dont).
