Comment Guns are not unsafe... (Score 3, Informative) 1013

Handlers are unsafe. There is no such thing as an "accidental discharge", there are only negligent discharges. Basic rules of firearm safety:
  1. 1. The gun is always loaded. Even if you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that there are no rounds in the magazine or chamber, you always treat a gun as if it is loaded.
  2. 2. Never point a gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy.
  3. 3. Finger OFF the trigger until you are ready to fire.

There are more, but those are the most basic and most important. Guns aren't responsible for violence anymore than cakes are responsible for fat people.

True, but they can't legally sell it or transfer it to another owner without first inscribing a serial number, makers name and makers location on it. And that's just for firearms the maker manufactures for his or her own personal use. If they actually want to manufacture firearms for sale, they need to be licensed to do so.

Comment As a math failure, I disagree... (Score 1) 1010

I didn't excel at math in high school and college because I thought "I'm never going to use this." Then live threw me a curve ball and I had an opportunity to buy a small business and get out of a dead end, miserable tech support job. Now I sorely wish I had tried harder at math because I have to do a considerable amount of it being an owner/operator of my little one man shop. A certain proficiency in math should be required for all majors because you never know where life will take you.
