I have owned every kind of gun. No accidents. All are safe if you know them. Some fail if dropped just right. Do NOT drop them.
But you see there are boobs out there. They also vote.
Would I feel safe with a Freedom? Yes of course but the general public is more stupid then we think.
It was like training in the army, training was geared to the most stupid of the stupid. Those that knew HATED class work.
I owned contenders and never thought they were a danger. Neither were Colts, three screw Rugers or any other gun.
Yet even the best of us can be killed or injured from a gun that is not made as safe as it could be made. All of you are human, prone to mistakes. How many woodworkers lose fingers in a saw?
None of us is holier then thou!
