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.

Yeah you expect the American public to abide by the rules and make smart choices?

I'm a member of the American public. I abide by the rules, make smart choices, and don't tolerate those who don't. All my friends are the same way.

Less than 1% of American gun owners commit 100% of gun violence in the US.

Over half of Americans read at a 6th grade level. The culture promotes violence and individualism. You think this populace deserves easily accessible guns? People can turn at any moment due to mental health issues or resort to criminal activity.
