ORIGINAL: BamaD quote:
My thoughts are based on personal experience with guns, and I was talking about something that is quite factual. Take a look at the stats on guns in this country, and a lot of them are accidental shootings, and in more then a few cases, it is caused by complacency, where people have been around guns a long time, and forget what they were taught, what they know. What 'science' do you have that shows I am wrong? I didn't say people doing gun play were untrained, I am saying they are forgetting their training, you talk to an NRA safety instructor and give him/her the scenario you are talking about, and see what they say, and why. I have seen the results of that one careless moment, and yes, I am sensitive to it. The people involved in the incidents I am talking about forgot what they were dealing with, they were complacent, and that is what I worry about with gun edge play, when you turn it into a prop in what is basically an adult form of play, you are taking a step towards complacency, and that is why I say it is foolish. I didn't say people who did gun edge play were stupid, the most intelligent people do foolish things, even stupid things, I just feel they are taking risks they may not even be aware of. Careless I think that would be a good word. Things go wrong people make misstakes. I spend to much time defecting claims that gun owners do give a you know what about safety I can't encourage antyhing that flies in the face of every rule of gun safety. Bama- The little girl I was talking about is a classic example of exactly that. The father regularly went shooting at a range, from what the cops told me afterwords (they were nice enough to let the first responders know what happened), and he was pretty diligent, kept the gun locked away, unloaded, you name it..this time, he had gone shooting, and for some reason he didn't lock the gun away, he left it lying down. He was confident it was unloaded, but apparently there was as you can guess, one in the chamber, he hadn't checked.....I am not even sure the clip was in it, which might have given him false confidence, this was 30+ years ago. Anyway,it shows even experienced gun owners, ones who generally are careful, can make stupid, dangerous mistakes. If someone is going to do edge play with loaded guns, that is their right, but one of the interesting things is, if it can be done safely, as some claim, then where is the edginess to it? One of the 'thrills' of edge play isn't just that others think it is taboo, it is that it has that read edge of danger to it.....I am not a gun owner, to be honest I have little attraction to them personally, but I also respect responsible gun owners, and I can't blame you. BTW I love your avatar photo, what an incredible dog!
