Not at all certain there is anything you think is safe, and you know...you’re absolutely right. So we should all live in fear of what might be— drowning in our ignorance of the proper operation of tools that can protect us from the criminal element. Brilliant.. ad absurdum.
In general, the world is not a safe place. However, those who are willing to give up their freedom and rights for security deserve neither and that is what they will get— neither.
The police will be the very first to tell you they cannot prevent someone from being attacked. This is why we have a right to defend ourselves.
We especially do not need continuous monitoring by the self righteous thought police to ensure our absolute safety.
Let’s remember that this all came out of the psawing and dismissals that doctors are asking about guns for no reason at all.
All I’m saying is they can see this as a safety (injury) issue. Some may ask about seatbelt use and lecture us about that (I don’t like being made a criminal for not wearing seatbelts).
Some made it seem guns have “nothing to do with medical issues”. But guns as well as lots of other things do put a certain risk - and accidents happen.
I don’t know why it’s so terrible that I point out to the zealous deniers that there IS a chance guns can hurt people accidentally, and that that is the base reason doctors mention it. As with smoking, no-seatbelts, obesity, drug usage, etc.
Is it possible that there is more to this? Sure. (Same with the other nonsense.) But I don’t like people scoffing that accidents never happen - or deflecting by insisting only fools “allow” it to happen and so thus, guns aren’t really a risk.
