[QUOTE="de-evoproject, post: 1330938, member: 14169"] I think most of the guys here understand she wasn't exactly pointing at her son blantantly and that he was behind the trailer out of sight. The issue that most are taking here is that she failed to keep it pointed in a KNOWN SAFE direction. Not pointing the weapon in a known unsafe direction is only half the rule. The other half is to make sure you are pointing in a direction that is verified safe. She didn't know what was behind the trailer, so she should have pointed it elsewhere. Like the ground. I'm with you here to a degree. Yes, Remmington should be expected to fix this problem and held accountable for it. However, blaming a gun company for a death that really should be attributed to a lack of muzzle awareness and attention to basic gun safety sounds a lot like a long term play at more gun control and less second amendment for all. Any story that paints guns as the problem rather than the people behind them is another feather in the cap of the anti-gun crowd. [/QUOTE]
