Create an insurgency

>>34960188
Mandatory conscription.

Really, though, we would need to have programs in schools like driver's ed.

As long as society doesn't accept that it's a necessity to prepare for things you MIGHT not need to be prepared for it'll never happen.

I doubt it. Soldiers are often the most ignorant shooters after fudds. You know why people don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine? It's because of semi-literate conscripts from WW2. The same can be said of the mispronunciation of Garand.
>>
>>34960213
They were called magazine clips at the time, not magazines. Rifle means, like, 4 different things depending on period. Get over it.
>>
>>34960188
Mandatory firearms training, both on theory and practical applications during high school.
>>
>>34960220
The confusion comes from the fact that the 03 Springfield did use clips. The crucial difference is that a magazine has a spring.
>>
>>34960244
Magazine clips were a variety of clip. The distinction came later. There is a 9/10 chance you weren't even born when the distinction was made.

A step in the right direction would simply be to stop alienating people who don't already own guns. Disregarding the political side of things (as big an issue as it is), there's simply the problem of the firearms community largely being pretty closed and unfriendly to new/young members. You need to get people into the hobby before you can really educate them about the hobby.

Lost over 11 million soldiers in the war and were basically just pushing out anyone they could, the only qualification being "can you hold a rifle?" with training being so borderline non-existent that entire squads blew themselves up because they couldn't figure out how grenades worked.

Whenever you purchase a firearm it comes with a federal manual explaining all your states laws on firearms, that includes self defense laws. And how to properly hold, fire and handle firearms of that particular class. Comes with a section on recommendations on carrying and has information guiding you to classes you may want to attend within the state. Would be fairly cheap for the government to produce could use cheap paper. Like phonebooks.

Have rifle and pistol shooting be taught in schools as an elective class.
I'd imagine it wouldn't be near as popular as basketball and football (the good kind), but would be regarded as an American institution.
Then mandatory 2 years of military service 18.

Do what Switzerland does and have all able bodied men from the age of 16 be automatically conscripted into the military and go through basic training. They're no more different than an American summer gun camp.

>Canada
Hasn't been a major presence in any war since WW2, they had more fucking casualties in Korea than Afghanistan.

>Russia
Already mentioned that WW2 was more about extreme desperation, and since then they haven't had a significant presence of females serving as soldiers (unless you want to tell me with a straight face there were entire battalions of women in fucking Chechnya/Georgia)

>Israel
Outside of the war of independence has never been in a conflict where their casualties have exceeded 3000, the Yom Kippur War was their other highest casualty war and unfortunately I can find out the percentage of female troops involved in that so you may be right about that one.

>France
Again, haven't really been involved in a significant, high casualty war since the 1960's, women could enlist in 1939 but couldn't share ranks with men until 1972, and aren't allowed to join field combat units.
>>

except afghanistan they haven't done shit ( except if you want to count WW2 but there weren't female officers )
>Russia
either propaganda used by USSR ( just like any other 3rd world country and communist country did ) or if you can give name and legit document
>Isreal
female employement was made to push this ideal to the US, many IDF officers and former officers still try to tell their governement that this is a bad idea

>france
i live in france and female are not tolerated on front line and combat units, only what you guys call "POGs"
>>
>>34962493
>Russia
Desperate enough to have women gun AA batteries and artillery emplacements at the most part. There were multiple incidents recorded by the germans of wiping out these all-female emplacements during the early parts of the Stalingrad seige.

Not op but i like to butt in abruptly without context because i'm a dick.

Only definition of freedom that matters is yours right?
>>
>>34962515
158 casualties
516 casaulties
20 casualties
Such a fucking insignificant presence no one even lists it, like 200 peace keepers deployed at the most

11 million casualties dumbass, quiet literally lost 6% of the entire population, that's pretty fucking desperate. Also, there isn't a single recorded case of a female Russian conscript fighting in Chechnya, find me something and I will be legitimately impressed.

And Israel has never had a conflict exceeding 3000 outside of the war of independence.

I think you're missing the whole "major war" part, as in thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties on both sides.
>>
>>34962585
>Force people to pay taxes
Define Freedom.
no one is free.
>>

Freedom to not have untrained jackasses, sure.

It'd be good to get these new age "politically correct" dweebs some type of discipline for once.

Plus with the added on bonus of no country willing to invade due to an entire population being its military, like what switzerland has had for since almost the 1870's.

I don't know about the federal level, but at the state level you could have all the schools do lessons about 'American Rights' in 9th grade or something. Where you learn about the constitution and all that. With that you could sprinkle in some gun safety/marksmanship.

Would be totally impossible to achieve in Dem states though.

all these people who think we need to teach kids how to shoot in school are retarded. Knowing how to shoot a gun is simply NOT important life knowledge for a first-world citizen, I'd much rather they make personal finance mandatory in school so kids actually know what the fuck a loan or a credit card is.

also guns are easy to use, you don't need a 9-week class when you can just watch a few youtube videos.

>>34960188

Off some sort of tangible incentive for passing a firearm safety course, with improving rewards based off degree of success which is subsidized by the state or feds

Pass a safe storage and handling course, get $100 off a gun safe at a local store. That and have the NRA/CMP work together to make target shooting a regular community level recreational activity with strictly enforced safety standards on the competition sites to instill discipline and improve handling.
