“I served in the Army, and I went to combat and at that point I understood the gravity of having a firearm in my hands and having the ability to potentially take away a human life. I’m concerned. A lot of people who own guns don’t think about that,” Marvin said.

Oddly, I only thought about defending myself and buddies doing what we were ordered to do.

This guy is a cuck. He was on zoom testimony relating Rittenhouse to HI gun law. He thinks you can open carry here.

He often refered to his veteran status many times in another zoom testimony. Like at least 6 times.

I bet there are more who drive recklessly who don't grasp having the ability to potentially take away a human life.

Even super-wealthy and politically connected 82 yr olds don't seem to understand the potential lethality of a Porsche when being driven while impaired.

Maybe proper gun safety TRAINING would make more of a difference than gun control laws meant to take guns from young people 18-21 yr of age.

People own guns for various reasons, some for purely recreational pursuits/uses.  Yes, firearms safety is key and like any action, careless handling/use can have severe consequences.  Assigning consequences to an inanimate object is just excuses.  There's evil in this world and they'll find a way, with or without guns.

Notice how the last part that relates to the 2a right, he doesn't mention he took an oath to uphold the constitution.

And the very last part about what more we need, which is already all HI law.

Funny, I think about that everyday.
Be it a car, a mistake with a chainsaw, out hunting, at the trap range,
lack of a safety jack under a car, et al.
Tools misused can be deadly.
A gun is a frigging TOOL!
