obligatory firearm safety reminder:
only by holding each other accountable can we make sure that everyone stays safe and has fun.
My grandpa who takes me shooting was going over the firearm safety rules and with rule two I was like “that seems extreme” and his response it’s supposed to be, a gun killing or injuring or damaging isn’t as vivid as the word destroy
And yeah for me the other rules kinda seemed a given, bullets move fast and possibly through our hanging rubber targets, the gun probably can’t fire if you don’t give it a squeeze, and as for loaded better safe than sorry.
These rules seemed almost obvious to me, and yet there’s all these guys at the range behaving like absolute idiots
Yeah you expect the American public to abide by the rules and make smart choices?
To quote K from Men In Black: "a person, can be smart. but people, are dumb."
also yes. I do.
I would argue that they do follow those rules. They're just willing to destroy other kids at school with hopefully more kids behind them. Same goes for muslims in mosques, etc
About 80 percent of the time yes. Even the dumbest slack jawed hick knows not to fuck around with guns, doesn't make them not twitchy but that's a different issue. It's white trash and rich yuppy types who are generally the threat.
Yeah the ones that want to be like the rest of the world and not have the entire populace be gun obsessed morons. They are the issue 😆
I was referring to folks who generally speaking were progressive yuppies back in the day but melted their brains on fox news then Facebook before going out to buy a gun without any training whatsoever. The type who when a protest happens are in their front yard swinging around their gun like their lives are on the line. Mind you that grouping is generally overlapped with white trash.
If you don't want a gun do your own thing. I frankly would kill to get mandatory gun licensing requirements.
Ah I see. I don’t disagree.
Yeah kinda forgot that most folks aren't half feral hicks where the term yuppy very specifically refers to shitstains who moved to the city back in the 80s and 90s only to move back in the 2010s and 2020s to gentrify everything. How I wish to bleed the condescending ones in particular.
