A Florida father was arrested over the weekend after pulling an AR-15 rifle on an Uber driver who dropped his daughter off at his home, according to deputies.
I completely agree with you on everything you said. I would say that out of every gun owner I have ever met, I would say less than 10% of them have the emotional temperament to own a gun, let alone the ability or the knowledge to keep it safely locked up.
There should 100% be tests, and you should need to have a license to even own a gun, and almost no one needs to own one. It truly is absolutely ridiculous how easy it is to buy one in the usa. I don’t understand why anyone is against gun control other than them owning stock in gun companies ir the nra ir not giving a shit about other people.
And can I just say I don’t get why people are so quick to downvote my other comment for what seems like no reason at all.
Because every gun owner thinks they’re a responsible gun owner. Everyone is until they do something stupid and to act like you aren’t capable of making a mistake is naive. The problem is your mistake has deadly consequences. You can make the same argument for cars except driving isn’t a hobby in the US its a need. Like you said no one needs to own a gun.
I said almost no one needs one. There are still people who do need firearms. I’m not in that category anymore.
I fully recognize I can and do make dumb mistakes in my life, which is why I am so anal about gun safety. I make a show of me checking the chamber or cylinder. I make it known to anyone in the house that I am removing a gun from its case and unlocking it. I ask others to double-check the guns for me to ensure they are unloaded, and even then, they are never pointed in the direction of someone. Lack of respect for the dangers of firearms leads to negligence and negligence kills.
