What a terrible tragedy, all the more because that gun should have been locked up.
Firearms instructor Claude Werner writes that “[if] you’re not willing to spend a little bit of time, money, and effort to keep firearms out of unauthorized hands, then get rid of your guns.” (1)
He’s done a lot of research and writing on negative outcomes like this one, and said it completely changed the way he views things - it certainly did for me.
I see lots of discussion about what gun and caliber to get, but the essential, potentially life saving, safety rules for living with guns are an afterthought - perhaps there’s not much money to be had as there is in selling a gun.
Those comments though... still stuck in the nonsense bubble that the NRA somehow represents their interests at all, rather than just accepting it's become yet another hollowed out tough-talking fundraising machine preaching fantasy non-solutions to an ever-shrinking choir. The murder of Breonna Taylor was one of the most important 2nd amendment cases of our lifetimes, yet the NRA remained silent. With principles like that on bare display, is it any wonder why most people have become bored of hearing the arguments for gun rights?
