Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Some people I have worked with at big box stores don't give two shits and they could probably use a bit more training themselves.
You are correct about the people at my range though. We can spot someone easily who has no training and has never been around a firearm. (It's a private range, and all of us are basically the "range master".) We kinda go out of our way to ensure range safety and provide education regardless if we were asked for it or not.
Also yes, I have known people that have zero training or experience that have bought a firearms with no questions asked and no advice given. It's a thing, unfortunately. When stupid people do stupid things, they tend to migrate to places that are equally as stupid that will sell them a firearm regardless as long as a background check clears.
While I do have appreciation for your specific wording, I just have seen a ton of stupid shit, s'all.
