A “gun safety” instructor for Michael Bloomberg-funded Moms Demand Action held a pistol by the tip of the barrel during a meeting with the League of Women Voters in Lewiston, Pennsylvania.

The Lewiston Tribune reports that the instructor, Marcia Banta, was at the Moms Demand meeting, held at the Lewiston City Library, as part of an overarching campaign to “[encourage] responsible gun ownership”:

Well, she looks like she is muzzling her own finger. Eh, what’s a finger when you have 10?

At least she didn't have her finger on the trigger like DiFi!

I can’t think of any reason for a “gun safety” instructor to hold a pistol like that, real or fake. Even if she isn’t muzzling her own hand, she has no real control over where the muzzle is pointing when she puts it down.

This “class” looks like the blind leading the blind, which is usually the case among the gun grabber crowd.

My hypothesis is that many gun grabbers like DiFi are really just projecting their own violent and reckless tendencies on gun owners. I can never understand why they think guns owned by peaceful citizens pose any threat to them, but the answer is that they know that if they ever had a gun, they’d have an uncontrollable urge to shoot themselves or someone else.

That's one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. These morons have absolutely NO standing to lecture anybody about gun safety.

Here's a blow-up of what is on the screen. Think she is following that rule?

Its arguable about the safe direction rule. There are at least a few other safe practices not being demonstrated and that is a failing on the “instructors” part. 1) Body parts in front of the muzzle, even if not in direct line with the barrel. 2) That’s not a very positive way of holding/maintaining control of the gun.

I was wondering where she got her “instructor” rating. NRA is the largest, but certainly not the only national organization providing credentials. The slide in the background is not any official NRA material, though that is rule 1 and 4 of NRA safety rules being shown.

I guess that is what passes for a NSSF instructor?

Maybe she was trying to demonstrate
the incorrect handling of a firearm.
Her methodology needs rethinking.

This was in Lewiston, Idaho, not Pennsylvania.
