Any recommendations on getting into guns?

I'd like to get into shooting. Probably mostly going to a range maybe once or twice a week.

I'd like to mostly shoot a rifle, but I'd like some recommendations on - getting a firm footing on the basics (safety, storage, loading, cleaning, etc.) - whether that is via online resources, books, augmented with in-person training, etc.

Also when it comes to a decent rifle for eventual purchase - I'm up for recommendations.
