I think for fun isn’t a good reason to get a gun though. I feel like our morals don’t line up as much as I thought they did

If your argument is gun violence against women, you are genuinely implying you are afraid your boyfriend is gonna shoot you, that’s a whole different topic and conversation

Don’t be with someone if you don’t feel safe and trust them entirely

Sure, that's good advice, but the prevalence of domestic violence shows that it clearly isn't a catch-all solution, and the presence of a gun makes domestic violence DRASTICALLY more likely to be fatal for the victim. I don't like it either but it is absolutely statistically true.

DV aside you’re not automatically safer just because someone has a gun either. There’s also an increased likelihood of accidents, risk taking behavior, or having it used AGAINST you by a threat. Not to mention how panic can cause the weapon to be misused. Whether having it makes you safer entirely depends on how the person with it acts, talks, and how intense their training is. To me I’m safe with my dad with one. But my sister? Hell nah!

Again, don’t be with someone you don’t feel safe with, there’s ALWAYS gonna be signs, maybe subtle but there will be signs, no good man showing no warning signs will shoot their partner

Right, and her partner is taking safety classes to ensure the gun is kept, maintained, and handled safely

idk this sounds like victim blaming to me. people who experience domestic violence couldn't have just avoided it by paying closer attention. it is way more complicated than that.

As someone who’s had to take safety courses myself you get what you put into them. You can breeze through those and not have anything stick past the test if you don’t want. And it doesn’t always include intense training in high stress that would actually happen in an emergency. So how much work he’s putting in and talking about it is definitely a factor. I know people who’ve taken those courses that I still wouldn’t trust with a gun, especially not in an emergency.

It’s not victim blaming it’s called being situationally aware, victims are never to blame. Like. If someone walks down a dark alley at night and gets robbed is it their fault they got robbed? Of course not. But was that a bad idea? Yes

Yeah I agree with that. But again. Guns are objects they don’t themselves inflict harm. Like let’s say rocks, a rock won’t hurt you unless someone inflicts harm using one, like throwing it. It’s a matter of trust in a person and responsibility

If OP’s boyfriend wants to get a gun, the issue here is how responsible and trustworthy they feel in their partner to have access to one

Right… which is why having a gun in and of itself or the person half-assing a course won’t automatically mean they’re safer
