A gun's most important safety

[PokeyOkie]

Funny, I never considered the ear shattering sound a safety feature. I wonder if the Washington Post can document how many lives have been saved by that sound?

Or does that theory rank up there with the racking of a pump shotgun scaring criminals?

The antis are grasping at straws. Their evident desperation actually gives me hope that the HPA has a chance of passage.

Grasping at straws is OK unless you own the media (which they do). Like The Donald sez "You're fake news"

Gunfire — loud, sharp, rude, abrupt — is an important safety feature of any firearm. From potential victims who seek to escape a mass shooting to a hiker being alerted to the presence of a hunter in the woods, the sound warns bystanders of potentially lethal danger.

That's rich.

refreshing to know my .300 win mag is safer than my pellet rifle.

It's the Washington Post. We should expect no less from this anti gun bastion against freedom and sanity, since Phil Graham took control in the 1950's.

Mr. Graham committed suicide with a firearm in 1963, and Mrs. Graham started a march against firearms that has never abated since that dreadful day.
