Why is this site here?
It does not matter whether military, police or private citizen, the universal truth about firearms is that "well regulated" is a skill level. Gun ownership is not something to be taken lightly. It comes with an extraordinary burden, to be safe, to be skilled, to be free. It is not something you can just talk about from the anonymity of a keyboard or hide from in a "safe space". Firearms ownership is a responsibility that demands one learn and value standards of perormance, live up to the qualities of exemplary demeanor. Provable skill is what garners the respect of your peers. In America, we citizens teach each other about firearms. We people encourage each other to learn. We freely pass among each other the standards we expect of ourselves. We pride ourselves that we share the information we need to achieve excellence. We look up to those who have done the work and welcome those willing to do the work. It is a bond among fellows that transcends our skin color, our ancestries, our religions, our politics, our economic stations. It is where we are equal and only our performance matters. If you look around, the standards of our society are already there. There are training and qualification requirements in the military. There are training and qualification requirements for peace offices. These are codfied forms of "well regulated" standards tailored to small segments of our populace operating within narrow rules of engagement scenarios. Private citizens uses of firearms also have standards and expectations but the variety of use cases ranging from hunting to self-defense to competition are far broader than military or police uses. Some of these citizen use cases such as hunter safety have been well organized into systemic standards in California, others have not. Self-defense lags far behind as the state struggles to cope with the role citizens play in public safety. Competition standards are numerous and disjoint owing to the varied of disciplines that people participate in. This website aims to unify and popularize these civilian standards into an easier to grasp concept so that California's citizens can participate far more proactively in ensuring the quality of the 2nd Amendment in our State. We are the people who defend our freedom from behind every blade of grass. We should be the best at it. |
