Gun Safety: Social Media is Not the Place to Show off Your Dumbassery

[RugersGR8]

PS I have added a disclaimer for gun safety to the title of the thread, unfortunately everything else is still up for grabs.

We all got a great big chuckle when Diane Feinstein was up in front of a large audience, giving one of her anti-2nd Amendment/gun grabber speeches, having her finger squarely positioned on the trigger of the AK-47 and made a DA of herself. Well, with the ease with which videos can be uploaded on to the internet, there are far too many people(who should know better) following DA'idly in Feinstein's DA footsteps. Please read the following and remember the four gun safety rules that are presented at the beginning of the article.

You're wrong. Social media is the exact platform to show dumbassery.
Shows the rest of us how great we are.
I know this forum is social media before I get slammed.

Wow! That last one is beyond stupid. Obviously driving, holding a pistol in one hand (finger on trigger), and taking a picture, I presume with the other hand. Maybe he could crash and shoot himself to death like that other dude in the news. Darwin could only hope.

Ya notice the safety is off too?

And the gun appears to be cocked.

The last pic the guy should have his wig split on that one. What an idiot. That is beyond ignorance. The other two aren't that bad to me. Yes their finger is on the trigger. They could have checked it to make sure it's safe. Yeah right.

Too bad but this is the pictures a lot of people post when they want to show off a gun. Some of these people know better so I'm not sure if they are trying to show that they're ready to rock or it's some macho thing. Makes no difference because it's stupid. Same as posting video of driving drunk.
Some of the smartest people that do this are dumb as dirt.
In pawn shop, few weeks ago, guy comes in to pawn a ruger and glock 9 mm's. I'm at the counter looking at the recent guns just out of pawn and he takes the glock out WITH A MAG loaded and has flashed it twice my way.
Finger on trigger the entire time. Owner comes over and the guy drops the mag (full). Racks the thing and out pops the round. He still has his finger on the trigger.
Owner rang up his ass about how about what he was doing. Guy, of course, got pissed and had to tell everyone about how long he's owned guns and his background and got a bit loud. Owner told him to scoot his butt right out the door and don't come back until he know's how HE expects people to handle guns in HIS shop and he can come back when he can do that. These are the people that post stupid stuff on SM

Don't be so mean! He's not familiar with guns. It's only the first gun he ever stole! LOL

Yep. But he had two with him and I'm not sure which one he stole first.
Ha!
