obligatory firearm safety reminder:

  • rule one is "keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire"
  • rule two is "never point the weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy"
  • rule three is "always treat any weapon as though it is loaded"
  • rule four is "know your target and what lays beyond it"

only by holding each other accountable can we make sure that everyone stays safe and has fun.

Calling a firearm "fun" is already part of the problem

Have you ever tried it?

There's nothing quite so uniquely irritating as someone intensely critical of something they know very little about.

Not wanting to to call the private ownership of deadly weapons fun is hardly "intense". Of anything it undersells the point.

Speaking as someone who enjoyed regular target rifle practice and competitions for the best part of a decade since you insist that matters.

Get a BB-gun. Firearms are for killing people.
