Gun Control Article: Nazis Not a Good Example

It's called Darwinism

 

Accidental discharges are not uncommon. There is just a national spotlight on them now.

 

Even still, you would think these presumably pro-gun folks would be extra careful right now.

I would hope all people with a firearm, whether pro firearms or not, would be extra careful always.

If the media spotlight serves as a reminder, I'm all for it. But the underlying tone is rarely a reminder to be safe, but instead a plug as to why they are dangerous.

Those who see guns as already dangerous don't really need any more reminders, and those who need reminders are put off by anti firearm sentiment they believe the media puts out.

In other words, the people who need to pay attention to these things don't, and the people who have no need, do.

We've had this conversation before, but they ARE dangerous, just like a car or power tool is dangerous.

 

And I've already said they, like anything else, is dangerous.

But whereas we see any numerous amount of reminders to buckle up, don't text and drive, and reminders by media to slow down on dangerous curves when it is raining, we rarely get the "make sure your weapons are unloaded when transporting them to the gunshow this weekend."

That is the difference. You accept that cars are dangerous, and still get the safety speeches. You accept that firearms are dangerous, but instead, see reports that confirms the danger, without any reminder of ways to limit the risk.

Thought this was interesting

 

Newtown shooter motivated by Norway massacre, sources say - CBS News

might explain why we've seen more of these type of shooting in recent years. unfortunetely twitter and the internet just make these guys even more famous and encourage copy cats.

 

That actually makes a lot of sense. Similar crimes.

Got to lock those guns up. I don't get it.

 

It truly is amazing how much could be prevented by merely locking a firearm up.

I dont get it
