The Gun Culture is Somewhat In Denial About Gun Safety.

Post Reply New Topic

So is Congress going to study educating two year olds or idiots?

As is said, Idiot proof something, someone will invent a better idiot.

My Gun Cult is not in denial, Gun Safety is not passing a written test, it is acting like you have something that can kill at a hundred yards, all the time.

If a two year old could set it off, so could digging around in the purse for a lipstick.

Women have been seen tossing their purse around. A safety is a easy to use thumb lever, and needs the protection of a holster. A holster needs to be secured to something, they come with clips, belt loops.

If you are going to reach for a gun, it should be well secured so it stays in the same place.

Pulling a hairbrush on an armed assailant does not work.

Pulling a firearm on an armed assailant will get you shot.

The time to pull a firearm is just before you fire two rounds, one in the chest, one in the head.

Few people consider that part.

Guns don't do stupid, people do.

doctors do recommend eating off of smaller plates as that has been proven to leave people more satisfied while consuming less. just as pediatricians in every state but florida (thanks NRA) tell gun owners to keep their guns unloaded and locked in a safe. and psychiatrists tell people with depression to distance themselves from their guns - give them to a relative for safekeeping or sell them.

I have nothing against guns, per se.

I wouldn't attack anyone for being pro-gun. I wouldn't like it if somebody was so vociferously pro-gun that the very idea permeates his/her brain.

I don't really care that much about guns myself, to be honest. Guns are something to be fired. They're used in hunting. They're used in target practice. They are sometimes used in crimes. There should be some kind of regulation of guns--but it's not a life & death situation for me.

Now.....gay rights--and the progress of people of alternative sexuality--now that's important!

And our financial situation.

Howdy. I'm a girl and I definitely believe in the Second Amendment. I own two guns (neither of which were built with safeties - a Ruger and a Sig Sauer). I learned how to shoot both in a class setting and have them locked up in a gun case loaded. It's just me and Waldo - no kids. I never grew up with guns so I don't feel totally comfortable around them. I felt the need to have a gun after living on my own. I have a home alarm system, but if someone comes in here the alarm will sound and the company ends up calling to make sure the alarm was real - I could be dead by then, so that's where the guns come in. I live on the top floor, but in the past 5 yrs it has been the top condos that have been broken into. I have them for home safety only. I even have hollow points so if I need to shoot it will be less likely for the bullet to go into the next condo. A pharmacist I worked with said I need a shotgun. I haven't done that yet. I would need someone to help me shoot that as I feel that is a little too much gun for me and my shoulders and I know most definitely that that would shoot the person (forget a bullet) right into the next condo and it would be hard to clean up the mess. The positive would be I wouldn't have to worry about being a good shot.

One thing that is happening now here in Kansas is that people can now conceal and carry WITHOUT a license. It just started this month. I feel uncomfortable about that. I do think a person should qualify first by taking a class (especially on gun laws) and then show they can handle their gun properly and shoot a target. I will not carry a gun with me as I'm scared of having to use it and something happening that shouldn't have happened (like missing my target and shooting someone else, etc) and going to prison. I have things to lose like my nursing license and my job. I can't just be toting a gun around town like Calamity Jane. Usually if you do see a conceal carry person pull their gun it always makes the news. I sure don't need that. However, the oddballs that shouldn't have any guns are the ones running around with one because they don't have anything to lose. Another thing, I'm tired of politics using guns as the problem every time there is a shooting. It gets to be old crap.

Good people need guns. There's just too many crazies out there. It's not always about just the safety of children. We had a trauma happen here. The gunshop I purchased one of my guns from was owned by a husband and wife. She taught me and my Ma how to shoot the guns we purchased. One Friday about 3 months ago 4 thugs ran into the place shooting it up and ended up killing her husband - he died at the hospital I work at. Her husband (me and Ma could swear that they had told us when we bought our guns that he was a cop) shot two of the idiots and one ended up being in our ICU for a couple months. The others ran to houses in back of the gun store and could have hurt other people but were eventually caught. That experience was very upsetting as this woman had just opened this gun shop made specifically for women - to teach them classes in self protection. I believe she reopened the store, but I haven't been back since I buy my bullets online. To be honest, I would be creeped out going back in the store - too many memories. No one will ever talk me into giving up my guns .......unless I'm forced to.
