just to name a few.\u00a0 When you have something already in place and people are using it, then one day someone makes the decision for you and decides to take it away, then it becomes a catalyst that\u2019s set in motion down a path that nobody wants to go.\u00a0 No one wants things taken away from them.<\/p>\n<p>The root of many of our problems comes down to dumb-ass firearm owners who do not do the simple things of following the four universal firearm safety rules and getting trained.\u00a0 With any tool, there is safety and training involved.\u00a0 If you&#8217;ve ever driven a car, for the safety for everyone on the highway, you have been trained and you follow those safety rules.\u00a0 If you work with wood (like cabinetry), you have been trained and follow the safety rules.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t someone will lose a life or inflict pain and suffering.\u00a0 Cooking at a stove, you need to be trained to prevent fires or extinguishing them and also give first aid if someone is burned.\u00a0 A firearm is no different, it is a tool for defensive purposes.\u00a0 You get the training, you continue the training and you continue to follow the safety rules.<\/p>\n<p>If every firearm owner would get training and follow the universal firearm safety rules (there&#8217;s just 4, it&#8217;s not that hard), and lock up their firearms (unloaded) to prevent them from being stolen, we would not see such horrific articles of children being harmed or killed or be in the current situation that we are in.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just common sense.\u00a0 Children won\u2019t be bringing firearms to classrooms.\u00a0 We won\u2019t have people having accidental discharges of weapons.\u00a0 It\u2019s so simple, but we just have some real stupid people out there.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be a dumb-ass.\u00a0 Memorize and follow the four firearm safety rules and get training every year.\u00a0 If we all did this, we won\u2019t see such horrible headlines in the news, you won\u2019t have people marching in protest and you won\u2019t have silly-ass laws put in place by those who never fired a gun or got training on it.\u00a0 Because of these dumb-ass irresponsible firearm owners, they are making us look like evil people in the eyes of the general public and they are giving ammunition to the news media that are very biased that they use this information to spread fear to increase their television ratings.\u00a0 They really don&#8217;t care about you (no matter what side of the fence you are on).\u00a0 They receive the information and control it by giving half truths or not providing the full story (just snippets to put fear into people) to make us responsible firearm owners look like we are the spawn of evil.<\/p>\n<p>People want peace and not violence in their lives.\u00a0 We all want this.\u00a0 If humans were not such a violent race, then we would be in a much different place today.\u00a0 But the reality is that there are some real evil people out there.<\/p>\n<p>Use common sense, get firearm safety training, memorize and live by the universal firearm safety rules.\u00a0 We would all be in much calmer waters and not be on edge of our seats as a nation.\u00a0 It&#8217;s that simple.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Be safe out there, be the responsible firearm owner and always follow the \u201cConcealed Carry Creed\u201d!!!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Someone Took the Stupid Pill &nbsp;
