What would a safe change in this specific case?
What a plot twist, a pro-gun poster who can't look beyond themselves and what they want and see the wider problems of gun ownership.
Please explain to me how the situation i described would be any different if my guns were in a safe, rather than a locked closet?
And surprise surprise, he's slow too.
"I will never drive drunk so what good are DUI laws?"
you still haven't answered any questions. just thrown insults.
"No but you don't understand, I'm not driving drunk so how would DUI laws change anything".
you're still throwing out strawman arguments.
Have you tried shooting them with your poorly secured firearms?
wow. great. much burn. so raw. Still can't answer the question.
Oh honey, it's been repeatedly answered for you, you've just been too slow to pick up on it.
I hope you're intentionally trying to make me waste my time cause otherwise holy fuck, you sure are unarmed on the internet.
Oh then be a dear and point out EXACTLY where it's been answered. Cause all I see is snark and avoidance.
Nah. It's time for you to learn how to think for yourself rather than having people spoonfeed you information and opinions.
Besides, having you unable to see things right in front of your face makes gun owners look much worse.
You haven't said a single thing here. you've literally just made fun of me all the while avoiding the question. I don't NEED your "opinion". I know the law and I know where I stand with it. I want you, someone who said I'm wrong, to tell me exactly how I'm wrong, without calling names, or making strawman arguments. You literally have not answered a single question. You're playing everything by the "i know jack shit" playbook. You simply can't tell me the answer to my question. You say I'm wrong but refuse to tell me why. Leads me to believe YOU'RE the one that's been spoon-fed information and you're too dim witted to parse it into something you can put into words yourself.
Didn't read.
how do safe storage laws reduce gun violence?
Theft. Any time you aren't home your house turns into an unattended armory for thieves.
So answer me this. If a 'thief' breaks into your LOCKED house, steals your car keys, takes your car and kills someone else in a car accident, are you liable?
oh right so someone else breaking the law is somehow my fault? got it.
