'SUPER FUN': A gun covered in Legos to look like a toy sets off a furor

29. What exactly are you asking for?

Gun safety has always been part of gun culture. Try Googling about the rules of gun safety, and you'll get hundreds of millions of hits. You brought up MADD as an analogy, but MADD isn't really a part of car culture, is it? When guys get together to talk about cars, the need to avoid alcohol while driving is a rather rare subject; the latest Corvette is far more interesting. This, in spite of people being killed by impaired drivers in numbers comparable to those dying by the use of firearms in accidents and homicides.

You're not going to see articles about the dangers of drunk driving featuring prominently in Car & Driver magazine on a regular basis (if at all), and Guns & Ammo magazine is never going feature articles about gun safes over those of the latest iteration of the AR-15.

Change the culture so people like me don't want to go to war with it. The attitude that 500 is exhibiting; "I have no responsibility for anyone but ME and don't care", is irresponsible in the worst way. It makes people 'want to take your guns away'.

Being irresponsible in the worst way would be leaving a loaded firearm somewhere accessible by a toddler. 500 isn't doing that; per his posts, all of his firearms are being stored properly. The worst you can say about about him is that he's indifferent to what other people do. Using you analogy again, if someone said that they never drove while impaired, but that they had no responsibility for other people's drinking and didn't care about it, it would be irrational to make people want to take alcohol and/or cars away from people who don't drive drunk.

This being the case, why in the world would someone who acts responsibly regarding firearms but expresses indifference regarding what others do make people 'want to take your guns away'?

Repeating my question: What are you asking for? Gun safety already features juat as prominently in gun culture as the need to not drive impaired does in car culture, if not more so.
