If you read a Wikipedia article and think it’s very problematic, take five minutes and write about why it’s problematic on the talk page of the article.
FYI, I did exactly that a couple of weeks ago, and nothing happened (yet, at least). No politically charged issues, just a simple conflation of two place names with similar spelling. I thought about splitting the one page into two and figuring out what other pages should link to them… and decided that there was probably someone much more qualified than I was, who would actually enjoy cleaning this up, and who just needed a little nudge on the Talk page.
A modest suggestion: first, learn how to shoot. Something simple, like a .22 target pistol. Find someone who knows what they’re doing and ask them to teach you. Learn how to load it, how to stand, how to hold it, how to aim, how to pull the trigger. Feel the recoil. Practice at a target range. None of this is particularly complicated, but “gun” will no longer be an abstraction, it will be something tied to body memory.
Now, think about whether you want to own a gun.
