Ban and buy back. Education campaign about how crime rates are declining and owning a gun just increases the likelihood that you or someone else in your household gets shot by it, or your lovely trigger happy police force.

Totes what I said, mate, totes. A+

But yeah get rid of the guns.

I mean I could argue that that's a reductive take, but uh, it's about right.

Mm no I don't think that's it but I can understand how that could impact someone. He's incredibly opinionated!

If I had to pinpoint it, it's that his family are all quite selfish and I feel, not well mannered. So his behaviour towards me was a bit of an issue early in the relationship. Seemed he hadn't been brought up to actually give a shit about other people's views or how his words and actions affect others. It wasn't malice, just learned indifference.

I also think his parents drinking habits meant he was around a lot of rambling that didn't deserve response.

Suffice it to say, he's come a loooong way.

It's almost like normalising access to guns from a young age is part of your country's issue with shooting each other all the time.

Toddlers are shooting themselves and others. So maybe education needs to start in the maternity ward?

How about, and I know, it's crazy, but you could try not having guns in residential homes. It's insane, I know, but there's this really weird thing where the rest of the world manages it and their children (so bizarrely) aren't blowing their faces off on a regular basis

Nuts, hey...

But I closed the ad within (Google ad) but the container wouldn't close.

I was so sure this was illegal...

I've been taking a lot of leave lately to maximise public holidays (so taking the Monday or Friday off) to give myself a 4 day weekend. It's confirmed what I always knew - other than just being available for communication/meetings (which you obviously can schedule), I do my full time role on 32 hours. That's all I need and those are productive, committed hours.

Yes. That's the only answer. Accommodate the gun fetish. Of course.

Must be hard to downvote me with one hand stroking a gun and the other down your pants.

He's really giving Victorian-era feeble, consumptive, bedridden child.
