If your talking points are refusing to answer any question that challenges your preconceived notions than I am glad you will no longer be using them.
It is easy to assume that the reason you won't share what role in law enforcement you occupied over a couple of decades is because you stated you were in "law enforcement" so people would assume you were a police officer while you could quiet possibly be working one of the many non sworn positions in a law enforcement agency, like records, booking, maintenance, lab, finance, HR, etc. Stating you did something like that wouldn't help your argument, even though they are all still important positions. Please let me know if I am off base.
I've had a TSA agent tell me they were in "law enforcement"
The point is it is not overly expensive to shoot, especially if you do it often enough to know how to price shop instead of going into big 5 for a couple of boxes of ammo. You can always bring your own targets and many ranges are still out door, even here.
Ok that's not how half the country is.
Almost all of the ranges here are indoor and it's almost 25 bucks to shoot for the range fee
A lot of people aren't going out of their way to search for super cheap ammo on the internet and most people won't shoot crappy steel cased ammo.
Still.....it's going to be 100 bucks to shoot here near the cities with a couple hundred rounds of brass ammo
McCarthy only likes guns being carried around by people protecting him. Everyone else can shove it. Of course this is at the same time the state of California is trying to remove the madatpry sentence of using a gun in the commission of a felony.
They are literally making it harder for honest people to protect themselves and easier for criminals.
I wonder if Ca. Sen. Diane Feinstein would have to give up her gun , she has a Concealed Carry Permit, if she were to visit the school.
Of course she would like to ban ALL guns for others.

I don't know where you live but I'm a handful of miles south of Oakland and have multiple outdoor all day ranges within 30 min from me and multiple hour days indoor ranges.
Even brass case ammo can be found for less than 10$ a box on line for 9mm. The only way to spend $100 on a range trip is if you are renting everything you need from the range like hearing and eye protection, the guns and then buying the ammo from the range as well.
There is no downside to buying an insurance policy other than the cost, there is a downside to allowing guns in schools. We already allow some teachers to carry in some schools, how many attacks have they stopped.
How many attacks were at the school that allow armed teachers?
Money to keep our children safe? Yes, priorities are everything, got to build another toll road instead. That is until some student gets ahold of the teachers gun, not sure am comfortable with the idea entirely.
Do your ow how many cops were shot by their own gun? And yet you're ok with the police the only ones being armed.
My daughter isn't weak and scared and I have never been either. You can fight back without guns. To me, guns are a weakness because it means you can't defend yourself on your own abilities.
I guess things are expensive in California. I live in the middle of the US. We use a state-owned outdoor range. Costs $30 a year per family, open every weekend. The range provides targets. I use a S&W 22 to target shoot. Costs me $10-$20. I do shoot my carry gun some (380 Ruger). If I forget my hearing/eye protection, they loan me some.
