Pic Of The Moment: Gun Nut Logic

[Conch]

6. That seems like a rule that guards against irresponsibility.

If the, "cardinal rule" is, "not to handle it unnecessarily." shouldn't responsible gun owners be allowed to have loaded guns with the understanding that they won't be unholstered?

If a gun owner or potential gun owner is that susceptible to "the possibility of confusion" perhaps they aren't the most qualified person to be handling a range weapon with lethal power. If the consequence of "accidents" like that is so worrisome even amongst the gun advocates, that tells you something.

Should people who can't handle a loaded gun at a gun show be trusted at home where they might have a spouse and children? An idiot is an idiot at home or at a gun show. Make the rule, "Keep it holstered" that is the lesson that has value and would even offer a "take-away" for people when they go home.

For the record, I am all for people owning guns. My mother and father are big-game hunters and used to travel quite a bit to hunt. However, I don't have one and don't need one. I have a low voice, a fist, and a dog. I have spent 44 years needing nothing else to defend myself and family. I'm lucky and don't take that for granted.
