@weirdheadaches, my Husband is from the Netherlands and had no clue about how we use firearms except what he heard on the news and entrainment. He lived in Chicago for most of his 20 years here in America, but I must say he has (as most Dutch people) an open mind. He has seen how responsible almost 99.9% of the public is with their firearms. He has got to look at how we train and keep our guns safely stored. I'm from a military family too, so being country and all plus military he now is a pro-second amendment and understands why this is the second most important right next to our freedom of speech.
Plus his Mom and Dad survived German occupation during WWll and when cities and nations are occupied the conquered people's freedom of speech and ability to defend their property and person are taken away.
Secondly, I have a level playing field when defending myself and family as a woman, talk about women's rights, the gun is the best way to protect ourselves next to being free to speak my mind!
Big hugs to your wife and son <3
