I don't disagree at all that she sounds like a moron, I also don't disagree that the lack of a manual safety is super relevant. However I could see how you could, especially if you are uneducated when it comes to firearms, think a lack of a manual safety makes a handgun "more dangerous". If someone that is unfamiliar with the operation gets a hold of it a manual safety could prevent a negligent discharge.mojo84 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 2:11 pmThe point of the backlash is that a loaded gun laying in a bathroom stall is very dangerous. Whether it has a manual safety or not is marginslly different when it comes to how dangerous it is. Either one will fire when when the trigger is pulled. Just need to flip the manual lever off on one of them.mccloven27 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 1:58 pm While it is hilarious I would give the benefit of the doubt and assume she is talking about the lack of a manual safety on the Glock. Poor wording for sure though.
Looking further before I post this it looks like she clarified this in a a later post.
I also think people are sick of those that really don't know much of anything about guns making and advocating for more gun laws.
I absolutely agree that these are the types of people that shouldn't be making/suggesting policy around firearms though.
