It sucks, but updating your voting records is your responsibility, just like updating your drivers license with the new address, forwarding your mail etc. I had to explain that to a coworker recently. They moved 2 years ago and didn’t bother to get their DL updated. “It doesn’t expire for another year, it’s good!” Nope. He ended up getting a ticket.
I’ll be curious to see how similar archery safety rules are to four basic firearm safety rules. Two of them should translate across directly. “Don’t point it at anything you aren’t willing to destroy”, and “Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.” I guess “Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are aligned and you’re ready to fire” would change to “Don’t draw the bow until you’re ready to release.” “Always treat it as if it’s loaded” doesn’t really translate.
Most of us do. I have a safe and unless I’m actively doing something with a firearm, it’s in the safe, locked up.
Most of us are actually quite reasonable and understand the need. If someone has one gun they can get away with a simple lockbox. If someone has multiple guns and no safe, the usual refrain is “Dude, you can get a low-end safe for the price of one half way decent gun. Buy a safe. If you don’t have the scratch, sell a gun and buy one.”
Sadly there are idiots in every group, and those are the ones who show up on the news.
