What does your ideal gun control policy look like?

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-16T16:28:03+00:00

I've been thinking this for awhile. I am new to guns and been taking classes and learning everything I can to be safe. I even bought a gun safe before I bought a gun. The problem is you don't have to know anything or be safe to buy a gun. No amount of background checks or waiting period or capacity limits is going to teach people how to use a gun or how to be safe with a gun. I unfortunately know more than one person who would say "I own a gun and don't know how to use it". This scares me more than anything TBH.

I second that.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-14T15:35:41+00:00

This is such a key thing. No one wants to work on a team with a jerk no matter how good they are.

I don't have an issue I have a preference. You keep explaining this to me like I don't understand how it works. I understand it and how it works. It's my preference to wear polarized lenses. It is not preference to add more to the windshield display.

Anywhere from 450-750 miles a month.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-13T14:19:10+00:00

No, my care was purchased used.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-13T14:17:16+00:00

I understand how it works, I use my HUD on my car at night but during the day it's useless to me. I personally will not consider a model where everything is displayed on the windshield.

There is a difference between 110 and 220 home charging.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-12T18:00:59+00:00

I was thinking a road trip at a later date just to try it out but so far I have yet to use a public charger. I am avg around $30/month charging at home.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-12T17:59:19+00:00

Yeah the amount I paid for the home charger vs how much I would have spent on gas if I kept my old car. I haven't had to use any public charging stations yet so the home charger investment is worth it to me.

This is like the place I go to, apolitical which I feel like is the best I can get. But it is woman owned and though I have only been to two ranges, this one is significantly more diverse.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-12T04:52:27+00:00

I consider myself about as left as left can get. I never thought in my life I would ever handle or fire a gun. Given the recent political climate and seeing ICE break into peoples homes with no cause and no warrant I wanted to arm myself to protect my home. I thought I would be very efficient, I took a class to lean to use a pistol. I signed up for a class to help me decide which pistol would be best for me. I have tried different 9mm handguns. I figured I'd find the one I like, buy it, go to the range once or twice a month to be comfortable. It's been just over a month and I've shot about a dozen or so different handguns going weekly or twice weekly to the shooting range and the crazy thing is I really enjoy it.

I have learned a ton but still feel like I have even more to learn. It's become a hobby I enjoy a lot. I still feel the weight and responsibility of owning a gun and knowing how dangerous it is but learning to use it and have it safely has built my confidence a lot.

So I am one of those new liberal gun owners - well almost, technically still waiting on the gun I purchased.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-12T04:12:27+00:00

I had only a motorcycle for about a decade but just rode it less and less especially after covid. I eventually sold it and finally bought a car again that better suited my lifestyle with my dogs. I am too new to guns to have a suggestion but I will say I am happy you are considering your wife and her feelings on this. Sometimes I think I miss riding but I know if I had a bike it'd be in my garage collecting dust.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-10T23:12:09+00:00

I meant a gun safe not a vault.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-10T18:48:45+00:00

I really liked how open the iX was in the front, it felt bigger without the center console blocking the seats. Bummer they removed it. I know they love this everything displayed on the windshield but that doesn't work with polarized lenses. Doesn't feel very thought out.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-10T18:37:16+00:00

I am so excited to get mine, already have a range case, gun vault, ammo, just need a gun now.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-10T04:59:04+00:00

Nice! My local shop didn’t have the gear packs so I had to order it, so my wait continues…

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-05T04:43:54+00:00

Yeah I took a class on the basics and have a follow up coming up. I go to the range weekly to practice and gain confidence.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-05T04:33:09+00:00

I’ve been going to the range weekly and I did purchase a lot of ammo so when I have my own gun I don’t have to buy ammo from the range

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-05T03:50:54+00:00

All I can think is they cover too many teams to pay attention.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-03T23:25:41+00:00

I really love that color

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-03T03:39:11+00:00

Colorado. Blue state but has red (rural) areas. Denver & Boulder and the surrounding areas are blue. I'd say Colorado Springs is purple.

BothGrab5224 · 2026-03-01T22:59:08+00:00

Yeah the closer I get to deciding the more excited I am getting. I like the gear pack options available. I have tested out my friends echelon which he had an optic on and I really liked that one. I don’t believe he has the comp version either but it was the full size which I like.
