The most dangerous gun in the world is the one you're pretty sure is unloaded. That's one of the many gems from the video below. I highly recommend watching it. For those that don't, a few highlights:
A) The three basic rules of gun safety:
1) Always assume the gun is loaded
2) Keep it pointed in a safe direction and your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot
3) Always personally inspect the gun to determine if it is loaded or not
B) The response to the Alec Baldwin incident where he shot somebody on the set of a movie has been an example of a lack of leadership and responsibility from the gun community. This would have been an excellent opportunity to educate people and reduce the thousands of accidental shootings which happen every year. Instead we get "leaders" like Donald Trump Jr. making fun of Alec Baldwin. Again from the video, the current "leadership" of the Republican Party aren't leaders, they're Internet trolls.
