HAPPY MONDAY! If you read the ending to our menu item about Gun Safety, then you know this about to get good. So let’s be honest—if you need a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation to understand “don’t point a loaded gun at your friend’s face,” maybe guns aren’t the problem… maybe you are.
Gun safety isn’t some mysterious dark art taught only to the Jedi of the NRA. It’s literally common sense—unless, of course, you’ve outsourced your thinking to social media influencers and politicians who think a “clip” is something you put in your hair.
If You’re Smart Enough to Drive a Car…
You already understand basic mechanics, responsibility, and risk. No one hands you keys to a Mustang and says, “Now whatever you do, DON’T crash it into a preschool.” That’s implied. You know… common sense.
Firearms are no different. Keep it pointed in a safe direction. Finger off the trigger until ready to fire. Know your target and what’s behind it. Lock it up when it’s not in use. These are not PhD-level concepts. These are “don’t put a fork in the toaster” level.
Gun Safety Isn’t a “Gun Problem.” It’s a People Problem.
You don’t hear anyone saying we need “knife safety” reform because someone chopped off their finger cutting avocados. But hand someone a Glock and suddenly it’s time for a Senate hearing.
Why? Because politicians and talking heads think you’re an idiot. They don’t trust you. So they scream “gun safety!” when what they really mean is “give up your rights so we feel better.”
Newsflash: You can be pro-gun and pro-safety. It’s called being a grown adult.
But What About Accidents?
Tragic? Yes. Proof that guns are evil? No.
Let’s not pretend that anti-gun people suddenly care about safety. Half the crowd screaming “gun safety” also thinks it’s totally fine for a 5-year-old to decide their gender, but heaven forbid that same kid learns how to properly handle a .22 rifle under adult supervision.
“Common Sense Gun Laws” vs. Common Sense Gun Use
Here’s where it gets funny. The same people pushing “common sense gun laws” often don’t have a clue how firearms actually work. Magazine capacity limits? Cosmetic feature bans? Barrel shrouds? Flash suppressors? Most of these laws are written by people who get their gun knowledge from Netflix thrillers.
You want common sense? Try this: teach responsibility. Not fear.
- Teach your kids not to touch what isn’t theirs.
- Don’t store your firearm like a sock under the couch.
- Don’t show off your gun like it’s a fidget spinner at a BBQ.
Final Thought: Don’t Be That Guy
You know the one. Finger on the trigger, muzzle waving around like he’s leading a parade. If you can’t handle your firearm like an adult, you’re giving fuel to the same people trying to take them away from everyone else.
Gun safety doesn’t need to be legislated—it needs to be lived. It’s not rocket science. It’s just… common sense. Or at least it used to be.
