Which is one big reason I've become disheartened by the turn the gun rights movement has taken. I believe gun ownership requires a significant degree of discipline and diligence. The first and last thing anyone in possession of a firearm should be thinking about is the safe handling of their weapon, according to a rigid set of standard criteria that is well practiced and never deviated from.
Instead, gun rights seems to mean that anyone should be able to own and carry a gun and that we should place no obstacles in their way. Also, advancing the cause through fear mongering and promoting the idea (well above safety and responsibility) that you're very likely going to have to blow someone away, and that you need to be ready and not hesitate when the opportunity to do so arises. It's soooo important to be ready to kill a "bad guy" you can't be hindered by having to load the firearm, or remove a lock, or open a safe. You need to be able to kill "bad guys" on a split seconds notice. And when in doubt assume that shadow, or that noise, or the person on the other side of that door is about to gun YOU down so you better fire first.
