I noticed you jumped at the chance to presume that I was an advocate of requiring people to have a gun safe, and to accuse me of preaching leftwing dogma. I said nothing about requiring anything. I spoke up about making an assessment of your own household with respect to your guns and who might conceivably get possession of them.
It's the same with dangerous medications or dangerous dogs. If you have them, make sure they're secure from every imaginable contingency.
I think your ministry of correction must be in overdrive today. You don't know me; yet you took it upon yourself to burn a bridge between us. You at least ought to have been able to ascertain that I've been on this forum since it came into existence. Leftwing dogma? Good grief. Give your ministry of correction and strident orthodoxy a rest.
“Leftwing dogma? Good grief. Give your ministry of correction and strident orthodoxy a rest.”
It is “leftwing” dogma whether you are wise enough to realize it or not. I have seen this before. Also, it DOES NOT MATTER that you said nothing about “requiring them.” Some fool will jump on what you wrote and extrapolate it to a “requirement” because of it being “prudent.”
Look...I am not in disagreement with you on being careful to take safety precautions. It is just part of being a responsible citizen. However, it just is not the right time to mention it because it is seen as a window of opportunity by gun grabbers.
