Well duh. The first rule of owning a firearm is making sure that it isn’t the first time you use it in the moment you need to use it
every gun is loaded, especially when it’s not
So cool, so wise!

Mocking responsible firearm safety.
So cool, so wise!
Calling an unloaded gun loaded, is not responsible. With peoples willingness to deduct dangerous theories, they will conclude that if a gun is loaded even when its not, then i can as well keep it loaded at all times.
It’s a counterintuitive mnemonic device to ensure a user doesn’t neglect gun safety precautions with a presumed unloaded gun. I think we all get that.
Specifically to prevent people from using a real gun as a toy or prop and blowing their or someone else’s brains out because they thought it was unloaded. Effectively to treat all guns as loaded, just in case they actually are.
The same things are taught for powertools and industrial machines. It has power even though it doesnt. Its so ya dont kill someone by being mistaken. Its safety 101 for anything that can be deceptively safe when in the hands of a person.
If you ever apply for a job as an Armorer, keep this out of the cover letter.
It’s another way of saying “treat any gun as if it were loaded”. That’s pretty basic firearm safety. You’d be shocked how often people get shot because someone incorrectly assumed a gun was unloaded, and when a mistake could easily maime or kill someone it’s irresponsible to leave any room for error.
That’s called basic firearm safety. So cool. So wise.
The Americans are up!
Uhh pretty sure guns work the same in every country.
Well besides the FN P90, we do not speak of that Forbidden Magika.
It is good for killing dumbfucks with weapons of terror.
I felt that this 60 minutes interview wasn’t fair AT ALL and heavily slanted toward calling the Harris/Walz campaign on the most trivial shit.
For example, calling out Walz on the few times he’s misspoke and then asking how the voters can trust him.
Fuck allllll the way off with that bush league line of goddamn questioning. It’s not comparing apples to apples to pretend Walz is some huge liar when Trump and Vance lie literally every time they open their mouths with egregious, dangerous and racist lies. It’s disingenuous and ridiculous “reporting”.
Same with saying Harris’ plan would hurt the economy. Trump had Obama’s economy served up to him on a silver platter, tanked it (partial credit to Covid and the war in Ukraine as aggravating factors), and is pretending it’s all the Biden-Harris administration’s fault. Macroeconomically America is recovering from its recent economic downturn, similarly to Canada. Maybe, just maybe, the middle class is not feeling this because of wage suppression, corporate greed, price gouging and purposeful, weaponized incompetence by the Republicans in Congress.
Yeah…I thought ABC did great on the fact checking during the Harris debate. But in general, professional journalism is in a sad state.
Feeding into the false equivalence by being “equally” challenging is a part of the sanewashing. Someone needs to tell these journalists that treating bad faith actors differently than good faith actors is desirable and doesn’t make you biased.
Of course former law enforcement is going to own a Glock and have time on it. That’s pretty much a given. They even have an officer purchase program.
Irrelevant and foreseeable ‘news’
The fact that a candidate has to answer questions about their shooting experience in order to be qualified for the presidency says it all. This country is extremely messed up.
Seems pretty sexist to even ask.
When was the last time trump shot a gun?
Shows how fucked america is that both candidates are gun nuts.
I don’t think anyone should need to own a gun. But I also don’t think owning a gun and talking about it makes you a “gun nut.”
Talking about it when asked, at least.
I dont own any functional firearms. I will talk about the Winchester Model 1897. But I will also talk about how the ford Pinto gets a bad wrap unprompted, so maybe ill just talk about random shit that way.
You have the choice of a conservative who supports more guns, increased aid to Israel, and a more closed border.
Or the party of Donald Trump.
You had the choice to post drivel or keep it to yourself, so I’m not too keen on your decision-making skills.
Worst of all, I get a vote!
It’s strategy. Many American swing voters own guns, the Republican messaging is that Kamala will take all those guns away, so this ‘admission’ is intended to make it permissible for those on-the-fence gun owners to vote for her.
Kamala has secret service protection, she will likely have security around her for the rest of her life. She doesn’t need to own a gun. This is just messaging and posturing to capture votes, please recognize it for what it is.
