Billions of dollars worth of small arms are missing? And nobody is held accountable? You can't blame this on cis gender men and court-martial random guys?

They forgot the Biden administration left them in Afghanistan

If you had to go and pass a physical/shooting/background test and double down on a draft, so you're the fist to get called up, to get a $5000 tax credit once every 5 years to buy a new rifle/ammo/armor/gear. Would you do it?

Isn’t everyone already passing the $1k per year spending mark…….that doesn’t get you very far.

Yesh, but it would be nice to get a tax break for what I'm already spending on, but I figure most things have a lifespan, and it would be nice to get a break to replace that equipment periodically.

My price of entry for signing up for 1/2 of the actions you stated is gonna need to be WAY over $1k per year is all I meant.

ah, I was just throwing a number out there for a run of the mill rifle, some basic armor, and at least 1000 rounds of ammo. I figure this is for the masses, not just gun enthusiasts. How crazy would it be to have 20% of the population armed, trained, with a decent amount of gear that is not worn out?

I’m a broke redneck with a family on a single income while building a house out of pocket and this year I spent close to 5 grand on guns, ammo, and gear. I don’t make a lot of money either but you know priorities.

Hell yeah, but this is what the government should be doing instead of forcing this shit in gun laws. Incentives people to do everything you mentioned. If you do a comprehensive background check, psyche screening, fireaems training(pistol/rifle), firearms law class, de-escalation class, First Aid/Trauma course and whatever else they can think of they give you a service rifle(Whatever is surplus that the national guard dont even want lol) and a bucket of ammo for said firearm.

Also at the same facility they have these classes/administer these test is also a range and you get yearly free range time if you do all of these steps. You can get more ammo and yearly range passes at these state and federal funded ranges if yo reup on the classes.

Instead of forcing people you Incentives them on everything you want/think stops gun violence.
