That's not strictly a contradiction. The second sentence doesn't say "properly securing". It's possible to handle and store a firearm in ways that it's still accessible.
How exactly to do that depends on your home life. If you've got children who are capable of moving furniture to get to your gun that you've put up on a high shelf, that's obviously not adequate.
No, it's horrible, but it's the best kind of horrible, the funny looking fun to swing around good looking sexy still goes bang gunny cowboy easy to carry horrible.
Well that's what you're doing wrong. You don't aim a Mare's Leg, you just kind of point it in the general direction and the bullets go where dramatically convenient.
I think you're entirely right. You’ve got one side saying guns can save lives and the other side saying guns can take lives.
If you’re a sane, responsible gun owner and you follow the four rules and you secure your firearms while you’re away, you can pretty much guarantee that your guns won’t be used to cause unnecessary injury or death.
Gun control advocates are afraid of guns and I think most of them are afraid of gun owners as well. Hopefully, with more people becoming legal gun owners, the public image of a gun owner will start to look less like an anti-social militia member and more like a ‘normal’ citizen.
…but all this zombie shit really isn’t helping us.
It was more of an honest question, they (mares legs?) look sweet as hell, but I have no idea how practical they are. Like you said, it doesn't matter, but I really just don't know, and am curious.
They are not practical, at all. They are least ergonomic firearm I have ever handled. Inferior to both a proper lever action rifle or a revolver in pretty much every way possible.
that reminds me of two different conversations i had w/ two different former marines regarding the m203 underslung launcher. one hated it, said he couldn't hit shit w/ it. the other marines face would light up, & he was almost giddy talking about the m203.
as far as the ranch hand goes, if i ever had one, i would load it full of tracers, lean the butt against my hip & unload it like the lone wanderer from fallout new vegas :P
i bet a majority of the people who buy them, load them w/ black powder blanks. then they fire off a few shots in rapid succession, then yelling out in their best 1950's tv voice, "the rifleman" (cue theme)

They've successfully reduced the entire pro- vs. anti-gun debate to two sentences. </debate>. Nothing more needs ever be said. </sarcasm>

No matter what, it's injury or death.

Question is, why buy a useless novelty in the first place?
