I just want to say that as a responsible firearm owners we need to advocate safety, which we do for the most part, but also get information out there to those buying weapons. If you own a shop that sells firearms you might want to put up fliers for instruction for new owners. If you are a martial arts instructor and gun owner and know students buying...let them know about safety. I think we all need to do our part in teaching safety. I know that the box has a manual, but who reads those things? And what do they teach you about real life? The last thing we want is a required government sponsored safety test(oh wait?) to buy weapons.
So I think we need to start looking at expansion from NRA magazines advocating safety to the REAL world where people don't actually know how to safely handle a firearm. I have never seen an ad for responsible firearm's handling on ESPN, Spike, FOX(let's face it...they are the only news program that would have it lol), or non-hunting channels. Why not? Our biggest mistake has been to let the world think we are ALL incompetent morons who just strap a gun to our hips and run around shooting ourselves. After all you don't hear our side of the story on the news. Just about the idiot who didn't know how to handle a firearm who looked down the barrel when he pulled the trigger.
