Egg-zactly, a classic case of ‘projection’…

“A person who has been handling guns for 30 years and can’t remember “where’s my safety” has mental issues.”

Someone like that should only own revolvers…

“Also, having a healthy respect for a firearm (the “knot” in the article) is not a bad thing. It should be a hard emotional barrier to kill someone. I’d be more worried about someone who doesn’t have that emotional barrier.”

Preach it, brother.

I’ve found myself not going places I may have gone before I started carrying, out of the extreme distaste I would have over having to stop an attacker…

Where’s the bathroom, where’s the bathroom!
A person who has been handling guns for 30 years and can’t remember “where’s my safety” has mental issues.
How does a person like this function at home or at the office?
She probably stinks due not being able to remember where or how to use toilet paper.

For her safety and others, it is is best she not handle guns. If she can’t remember where the safety is, then she will not remember the 4 rules of gun safety either.

“That if seconds matter and I am afraid, I will very likely not be able to effectively use my firearm and that firearm will get used against me. ”

Yet, millions of times a year defenders that are afraid do use their firearms to effectively defend themselves, family, and others – both with and without training to do so. Just this year alone so far to date there have been thousands of such incidents nationwide where defenders were very afraid, terrified, and still used their firearms to effectively defend themselves, family, and others, for example this terrified Grandmother with no specific training for doing such > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzaZfb3Hj_E

If you did not have a firearm and had to use your hands or something else would you be just as afraid to use those to defend yourself?

You are an idiot. You supposedly “been a hunter, had a gun, had firearms in” your home for about 30 years now and “every single time that I use my firearm I have to actually remember to train myself to say, ‘Where’s my safety’ and to take my safety off”. Do you do that for your car, basically a 2,000 lbs rolling metal and plastic weapon? Yet you still do not know where the safety is on your own gun?

Not everyone is as stupid as you, because you are that stupid (or feigning stupid, and lying, for the sake of a gun control agenda) – you are not smart enough to be in office. How can anyone possibly believe that you, supposedly a gun owner for about 30 years and still doesn’t know where the safety is and too stupid to remember to take the safety off, how can anyone possibly believe you are suitable to hold elected office.

Also, having a healthy respect for a firearm (the “knot” in the article) is not a bad thing. It should be a hard emotional barrier to kill someone. I’d be more worried about someone who doesn’t have that emotional barrier.
