Koloski, a licensed gun owner herself, emphasizes the importance of gun safety training, recounting her own experience with lessons at a local shooting range. She argues that promoting safe practices decreases accidental shootings, particularly among children, and supports the notion that those apprehensive about background checks may not be fit to own…
