Why is the average firearm owner, an unsafe gun owner? (1 Viewer)

[braindrain]

Number one killer of kids yes that's good enough proof for me.

As for you not being safe with firearms? Where do you keep your firearms again? Which unlocked drawer do you keep them in?

That you keep repeating that lie after it has been proven to be a lie just shows the type of person you are. And why your argument should be ignored.

Why do you keep lying about this?

More gibberish. I never stated that you stating that is a lie.

More gibberish, I never stated that you had stated anything.

There is a button for you to do that. Or as Lisa Simpson once it, "just don't look".

No it’s more enjoyable to point out the stupidity of your claims.

That's your excuse for lying ?

The number one killer of kids... doesn't support my claim the average firearm owner is unsafe with their firearms.

Firearms are not the number one killer of the kids and they can't do that. In fact I'll pause it not a single kid in the history of humanity has been killed by a firearm they might have been killed with one.

When you have this much of a fundamental misunderstanding of reality you can't be taken seriously.

No, I guess it's the bullets technically.

Nope bullets can't fire themselves and guns can't fire themselves either.

That's why it would be dumb to put bullets or guns on trial for a murder. They have no responsibility...no agency.

I think you'll find it is the bullets that kill people

Unless the firearms is used to bludgeon some to death.

Isn't it weird that the courts don't hold the bullets or the gun responsible for a murder.

No they're just sit in a box. Maybe you could make the argument that if you chewed them up and swallow them eventually you would get lead poisoning but that's an act you have to do.

So it's not the firearm killing somebody it's the person using it.

New Legends kill people because I've never seen one leaf up on its own accord in this smack someone over the head until they died.

 

[Rich2018]

No they're just sit in a box.

Not when they're fired
People who are killed by a gun, die because of the damage caused by the bullets.

 

[CLAX1911]

Not when they're fired

So it's not the bullet doing anything it's the person firing it.

Bullets don't fire themselves.

Nobody nobody has ever been killed by a gun not in the history of firearms they have been killed with guns.

Did they teach you how to speak English in the UK?

 

[Rich2018]

So it's not the bullet doing anything it's the person firing it.

Nope the person firing it causing no direct harm

The bullet(s) do that.

 

[RF667799]

Nope the person firing it causing no direct harm

The bullet(s) do that.

The person firing a gun and killing someone with it, causes no direct harm???



That must be why they arrest the gun for the act of murder.

 

[CLAX1911]

Nope the person firing it causing no direct harm

The bullet(s) do that.

Bullets can't do anything they have no will of their own. They can only be acted upon.

I'm glad you doubled down on ignorance I'm starting to wonder if you're an employee of gun advocacy because these stupid things you say only set your argument back.

Thank you.

Thanks to irrational people like this gun control has had a very difficult time taking hold in the US.

A nonsensical statement by any measure.

Wrong again. By the measure of at least two of us here, it is not nonsensical.

That's right you're going to figure out something that nobody else did in 250 years of History.

Are you under the impression that I'm the only supporter or gun control ?

 

[CLAX1911]

Are you under the impression that I'm the only supporter or gun control ?

No I think there's a lot of people like you. Particularly intellectually lazy people who spat out propaganda that they don't even believe themselves in hopes that you trickle information people to the point where you get them to buy into your nonsense.

I believe 99% of gun control advocates are like you. 1% to have their heart in the right place but are misguided.

While these are simple examples, the thing is that I don't think I've met a single person here on DP that knows and takes into all three of these points. That's the thing, I'm safely using firearms by not having any in my household. That being said I want to know why does the average gun owner think they're safe with firearms, when there's a good chance they are not actually safe with their firearms?

It is clear you haven’t read the many lists here I’ve made about firearms.

I am a retired police detective and I have written extensively of the need for gun owners to be knowledgeable and safe in the ownership and use of their guns.

I speak to storage. I speak to knowledge of law and legal use of force. I speak to requirements to understand retention if one means to carry firearms. I speak to understanding that firing a gun under severe duress is nothing like firing one at a range at a paper target. One needs to know how drastic that difference is and how to cope with it. I speak to the need to qualify those proficiencies to be licensed to carry and to be indemnified against unfortunate outcomes.

I own and carry sidearms and I do all of that. I walk it as I talk it.
