(9,126 posts)Never point a loaded gun, blah blah blah. Doesn't every toddler know this? Doesn't every git learn this as safety 101? But it happens, all the time, by highly trained people like the cop in the video above, or gun safety instructors. And why am I surprised that fake cowboy baby bush was all about protecting the gun manufacturers?
Perhaps states that are getting serious about gun control, like California, can start to make these requirements. Being able to sell something in a large state such as that usually brings a design change. Car manufacturers only make changes when they have to. There are so many safety laws that can be put into place without "restricting the 2A". I would think every responsible gun owner would push for as many as possible as the anger and resolve of control freaks such as myself grows. An indicator going from black to red when there is something in the chamber. It doesn't have to be complicated.
But every time restrictions are resisted by the NRA and gunners, we see that this isn't just about self-protection or home protection. This is about easy access, the right to own as many guns as possible, the right to own ever more powerful, destructive weapons. The right to buy as much death as possible, thereby restricting the right to life and safety of everyone else.
