Gun Control Reform Activism

an unsecured gun and pulls the trigger with his/her thumbs with the gun pointing at their head, is the gun "doing exactly what a gun is designed to do?" Really?

When an adult "accidentally" pulls the trigger and shoots themselves or another person (family member) is the gun "doing exactly what a gun is designed to do?" Really?

Menacing behavior with a gun is the same as menacing behavior claw hammer? Really?

Your comparison of the potential violence caused by a gun as being the same as a claw hammer or a concrete block (or lawn furniture) is the same argument used by the right-wing gun lobby and its apologists to proclaim the inherent "safety" of deadly weapons. This "talking point" is right up there with, "if they didn't have a gun they would just find another way to commit suicide.

Guns are designed to kill, and they are very efficient at it. Imposing safety regulations on gun owners to reduce the obscene number of gun deaths and injuries in this country is beyond overdue thanks to the NRA/ILA/GOA death merchants for profit.

I suggest that you read the SOP of this Group before you post again.
