Why are gun owners afraid to admit they own guns?

ONE LOVE said:
Anyone else think people should be tested psychiatrically before being allowed to own a gun?



On that basis, if a doctor is seeing a patient and he notices that he has a mental issue or whatnot, would it not be prudent for him to ask if he or she owns a gun?

yeah right. homosexuality was considered a mental disease and should homosexuals not be allowed to own a gun.

psychology and psychiatry isn't a real science, they change their stuff every few years.

so yeah the definition of sane and insane changed every few years

All fields change every few years as knowledge and technology increases. Does that mean you don't believe anything is real?

I was a dick? I've found that people don't actually understand **** about guns. Do you know how often I've heard that phrase? It's quite common, and I don't know what some people mean when they say it. But hey, I'm a dick for giving a correcting thought.

JTT I'm shocked that you don't know what people mean when they say it.
You can't be that dumb. (I don't believe you are btw. I'm 100% certain you knew what she meant when she said what she said)

I don't think there is anyone in the entire world who believes that a gun sitting on the ground in an empty garage can just magically start shooting bullets.

I am serious. People say guns go off accidentally all the time. "Oh the safety was on when I pulled the trigger! Went off accidentally!" That's not an accident. That's being a dumbass. I'm pretty big on gun safety, so things like that matter to me. And I've seen a lot of ignorance when it comes to guns, including in this thread, so naw, I'm not going to assume somebody means something when I don't know if they do.

Hell, I don't know. My Ford Pinto started itself all on its own one time. Did not put itself in to gear or anything but it still freaked me out. Thought the think may be plotting to kill somebody so I sold it to my ex mother in law

Nobody that uses a gun in the commission of a crime is gonna use one they bought and registered. There's a black market for that. There's a black market for damn near everything, so long as there's a demand. And frankly, moves to disarm(through regulation) will likely increase that demand.

You know how to illegally obtain firearms? PM please, an I require pre-1984. All these new guns are fired first an the bullets barrel markings get recorded. They do not need to find the gun to trace you only the ballistics. Throwing it in no lake ain't gonna save you.

You do have a valid point, and I will try to avoid that particular phrasing. But no promises - my mouth and fingers work faster than my brain.

in all honesty, there are swaths of Dems who are no different in terms of being bought by the forces that encourage medicalization. But the Reps are rather......unabashed with their encouragement of pharmaceuticals.

It's really not a big deal. I never meant it as an insult, just a correction. I hope you didn't take it that way, and I apologize if you did. I was just taking umbrage to being called a dick.

Which really means "fired due to negligence."

I've heard people talk about guns just going off as if guns are unstable and sometimes just go off. People do believe that and it is an anti-gun myth that needs to be confronted for the sake of gun safety.

In TV and Movies guns are sometimes shown "going off" when dropped. No modern gun will fire because it is dropped.

Agree that most modern firearms cannot be discharged accidentally. Some older firearms can. Even the old G11 could discharge a round if it became too hot (cooking off). Newer guns that have a mechanical failure call also discharge. The failure could be due to negligent upkeep and repair, or due to a manufacturing defect.

Okay, do you have a single proven incident of a modern firearm going off because it was dropped or some other non-trigger pulling accident?

You're spreading a myth that gives an out to people who use guns in an unsafe manner and claim that it wasn't their fault when it most certainly was their fault.

There are 4 rules of firearm safety that must be followed at all times. You must violate at least two of the four rules for a person to be harmed unintentionally. So in reality, even if a gun does "go off" it should never hurt another person unless you are being negligent and breaking multiple firearm safety rules.
