Regardless of owning a gun: when they’re so commonplace then you should learn the basics, it could save a life someday knowing about the safety, magazine, chamber, and about never pointing a gun, loaded or otherwise, at anything that you don’t intend to destroy.

And this is why statistics classes are important. Only 30% of US adults own guns. So at 15 guns per person, that means most of those people own a fuckton of guns. I’d hazard a guess to say most of those people are not in the medical field.
Most American adults do not own a gun, probably have never fired a gun, and their only training is from video games.

Also, a good handful of the people who DO own a weapon, have no training in the weapon and don’t know how to use or handle one safely.
