4 Basic Rules of #GunSafety : 1. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction always. 2. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. 3. Don't rely on your gun's "safety." Keep fingers out of trigger guard until ready to shoot. 4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

Bans on modern sporting rifles do nothing to address the very real problems in our country. They don’t reduce crime. They don’t reduce suicides, accidents, or mass shooting tragedies. Bans don’t work because it’s only a ban for those who follow the law.
