Between civil unrest in the streets, skyrocketing crime, desperate people struggling from the pandemic, and the likelihood of stricter laws limiting future gun ownership, the number of people who have purchased a firearm for the first time in their lives has been at an alltime high for well over a year. With the sudden increase in newly inexperienced shooters, the importance of widespread knowledge of gun safety has never been more crucial, and the availability of quality instruction needs to be made widely accessible. In this episode, Bill and Mas go over the basic information that every gun owner needs to have fully ingrained in their mind before handling their weapon with live ammunition.
