I don’t feel unsafe. Probably because I avoid going places where it actually isn’t safe. Every time someone gets on an interstate, they have a greater chance of being killed by another driver than we do going about our lives and getting gunned down. But you don’t see anyone complaining about the dangers of driving cars or about all the people cars kill. Mostly because the chance is small there too. Those damn car manufacturers have intentionally flooded our streets with vehicles so, according to the logic of some here, we’re all under extreme risk of becoming the victim of vehicular homicide. 🙄 So you avoid schools , Walmart , concerts , parks , grocery stores , churches. BT is right, bullet in the head is American as SEC football. Don't fall into the retard trap. Seriously

I’ve sold a few guns over the years, but usually know the buyers quite well. My only concern would be selling a firearm to a complete stranger, because if he misuses it, it might be traced back to me. So I give a sale a lot of thought. I have never regretted a sale of a firearm but have regretted selling a vehicle that the title was never changed and I was contacted for an accident and an impound yard fee. Today “crazies” are starting to prefer knives too guns on their victims. Let’s face it dead is dead regardless of the method. So allow me to carry and shoot legally.

Regarding not going to unsafe places is doable. Some places you’re just not in the best environment. Concerts, gender specific clubs, and protests are areas I shy away from. Now pull a firearm at a gun show and you may be facing many firearms aimed in your direction. Some of the safest places I’m familiar with are gun shops, hunting camps, our church, and get-to-gethers with family and friends (most are LEOs). As an officer explained to our office back in the day, “Always be aware of your surroundings.” Be safe folks.

Some serious effort should be put into teaching MF's how to drive.

What constitutes a "transfer" for background check purposes? If someone loans a shotgun to a friend for duck season is a background check needed?
Also bring back Insane Asylums. Crazy people are the bigger problem, not inanimate objects...

Crazy people are the bigger problem, not inanimate objects... Technically a gun transfer is a transfer of ownership. In today's world I'm sure you could find a prosecutor that could tie together loaning a gun as a transfer. There is legal language that refers to loaning as a temporary transfer. BT and his merry followers should be far more concerned with prescription drugs IF they're serious about reducing firearm violence. BUT of course they won't. That's not the way dishonest people work

Apparently, you don't understand the difference between prescription drugs and guns.

Apparently, you don't understand the difference between prescription drugs and guns. I clearly understand the association between prescription drugs and gun violence or suicide. Apparently you don't or you ignore it because your echo chamber tells you to

You have decided to bring suicide into the conversation? You are very predictable.
Prescription drugs are used to prevent illness in humans, and opposingly guns were designed to kill. Millions of people take prescription drugs, but very few have used a gun to kill another human, wars excepted. Gun violence cost American society and the economy a tremendous emotional and financial toll.
