Default Gun safety, Gun thoughts and Gun Control and my shiny new CZ-75B!

Having received my third firearm for Christmas, The First being a Polish surplus P-64 by Radom (Gone 2 weeks after I bought it thanks to my ex who decided to trade it to a dealer to support her habbit) My second a CZ-82 Czech Surplus (Gone 6 weeks after I bought it to a friend\roomate who was to hold on to it for $100 bucks so I could pay rent, When I got paid to get the gun back the next week as was per our deal, he had the gun no longer as he traded it for weed!) Man drug users are unreliable!

And now I got a CZ-75B for X-mas. I haven't been to the firing range in a bit and thought I would brush up on gun safety. Ive found four effective easy to remember rules.

1.A firearm is always loaded. (Treat it that way)
2.Never point the muzzle at anything you do not wish to destroy.
3.Never put your finger on the trigger until your ready to shoot.
4.Always be aware of your target and whats beyond it.

So now I will talk about the prolific pictures of idiots on the net who fail in most of those rules while posing for pictures. Common errors while looking gangsta for there myspace photo's are pointing gun at camera man\woman. Fingers on the trigger Etc.

One Photo has a guy pointing his new Glock at his GF and you can see the round loaded in the chamber through the barrel and his finger on the trigger! Now anybody who knows Glock knows that the only safety they have is built into the trigger. The only thing to stop that girl from meeting the God of her choice is less than 1" of trigger pull.

So now to the final point of this Topic. I believe in all Americans rights to own a Firearm for sport, protection or the basic exercising of their second amendment rights and from what I have seen gun control doesn't work worth a spit.

So what about having mandatory gun safety classes and a bit of training with each firearms purchase?

Buy a shotgun and have an expert spend an hour with you at the range familiarizing you with the weapon and making sure your competent with it and understand the fundamentals of safety as opposed to all these dumb laws that either take guns away or just give guns away. I mean you have to pass a driving test, why not a firearms responsibility test? Nothing too complex just some basic common sense and firearm familiarity instruction?

Just my thoughts.
