Washington Does Washington need a ‘surgeon general’s warning’ for guns?

The world will solve most all of their own problems if all warning labels are removed.

The true heart of the matter is the stupid f's that would snort Drano or smoke bath salts could care less what the warning labels say, that is even if they could read it.

Agreed, even snorting condoms is popular now. I wonder if they are used first... :s0170:

When some 'tard eats a flippin' Tide ball, what really more needs be said?

Not much I figure.

The warning in the article lumps all gun owners into these categories :
Those who are thinking of suicide...
Domestic abusers...
Those who want to harm others...
And those who are careless around children and others...

I for one am sick and tired of being lumped into the "bad guy " category , just cause I own and enjoy firearms.
Millions of Americans enjoy both the benefits and responsibilities of firearm ownership and do no wrong or harm themselves or others.

Just what "good" does that Surgeon General's warning do now...?
I understand the impact it had 50 odd years ago...but the world then was a vastly different place.
The warning now , today , is it even read or is is just glance at / over and taken for granted...?
Is it like the "terms and agreements / conditions" , that one is supposed to read when joining a internet forum...?

I understand the need and desire for firearm safety.
Again I would suggest :
A elective , non political firearms safety and understanding course , to be offered in schools / to the public.
All that it would teach is :
Firearm safety...
Understanding of how a firearm works...
Basic ballistics...
And perhaps a state by state covering of firearm laws...As in going over the laws in your state and understanding that the laws in another state , may be different.

This I think would be far more effective in promoting safe firearm use than a warning on a form.

They aren't stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. Not that tobacco and firearms are similar, but they are trying to reduce the amount of firearms owners the same way they successfully reduced the number of tobacco users. Through negative imagery and ad campaigns and exorbitant taxes.
