Intense background and criminal background checks and anything violent automatically disqualifies you.

Make getting a gun/gun permit more like getting a driver’s license:

permit to learn

includes an exam with 18 or more questions on the policies, laws, and etc of guns and gun ownership

if you get more than 8 questions incorrect you must retake it.

30 hours of practical experience at a gun range with a licensed teacher

Must take a 5 hour class on the dangers of guns and how to use them safely which will then yield you a certificate that grants you to take the practical exam and lasts for one year. If you don’t gain the license within the allotted year you must retake the class.

A practical exam with a licensed instructor who will grade you on various skills. If you pass you may be granted a permit on the weapon of your choice, the exams may differ on the type of firearm you want.

Follow the Japanese model where you must have two gun safes in different areas of the house, one to store the gun and one to store the bullets and you must provide the police with information on where those safes are.

No concealed carry and only handguns may be allowed to be out in public.

If transporting a weapon, it must be in the trunk of the vehicle, in a bag or some other case, safety on and unloaded and may not leave the vehicle until you are at the destination.

If you’re a hunter or some other gun hobbyist that requires a functional weapon other than a handgun then the gun must stay on the premises, whether that is a gun range or the Fish and Wildlife facility.

If you live in a rural area where police (and people, for that matter) are few and far between, something akin to a deer hunting rifle should provide plenty of protection from predators and poachers, you still have to follow the aforementioned steps.

❤️ Day 4 Corazon Week 2026

Clumsy Day (Unfortunate Clumsiness)

A Moment's Folly 🔥

I think this piece might be my favorite illustration I have created so far.. not only from this challenge, but from my entire artistic journey.

When I finally finished it, I honestly cried. After spending so much time studying, experimenting, and overcoming challenges, seeing the final image come together was an incredibly emotional moment for me.

For today's prompt, "Clumsy Day," I wanted to portray one of Rosinante's most recognizable traits: his endless and unfortunate clumsiness.

Rather than simply illustrating an accident, I wanted to create a scene that felt true to his character. Corazon is someone who can turn even the simplest action into a complete disaster, so I imagined him trying to light his cigarette… only for his own clumsiness to betray him once again. A small moment becomes a chaotic but very "Rosinante" situation.❤️🥺

🎨 This illustration was inspired by El Greco's Boy Blowing on an Ember, a painting that has always fascinated me because of the way it transforms such a simple subject into a dramatic study of light and shadow. The small flame illuminating the child's face creates a mysterious and almost theatrical atmosphere, showing how something as fragile as a spark can become the center of an entire composition.

I wanted to reinterpret that same idea through Corazon: replacing the quiet curiosity of El Greco's child with his characteristic accident-prone nature. The flame becomes both a source of light and a reminder of the chaos that follows him everywhere.

🌹 This piece was also one of my greatest technical challenges. The hands, the nails, and especially the lighting were incredibly difficult to achieve. Creating the interaction between the warm glow of the flame and the surrounding darkness pushed me to study and experiment more than ever before. Even now, I still cannot believe how it turned out, but I am incredibly happy with the result.

I also feel that this illustration shows my inspiration for Rosinante's facial features more clearly. For his appearance, I was inspired by Anton Rogachev, whose features helped me capture the gentle, melancholic, and kind expression I wanted for him.

✨ This artwork reminded me that sometimes the most unexpected challenges can lead us to create something truly meaningful.

BrargWeek Day 6: Childhood Crushes

I'm a sucker for little childhood promises lmao I eat that up every time. They'll grow up and go through some shit (and fight a lot along the way) but I believe they can get together for real when they're older~
