If Jesus handed you a gun and said it was safe would you put it to your head and pull the trigger or would you check it first?

This is about Alec Baldwin. Liberals that know nothing about guns or gun safety are saying he should be able to trust his crew. Really?

[Quackthulu2]

Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Keep the weapon on safe until you intend to fire.

I don’t give a fuck if it came from Santa Clause, Jesus or Mary Poppins. Only an idiot fails to clear a firearm they are handed. And only a piece of shit fires one unintentionally.

There is no such thing as an accidental discharge. Only an intentional one, or a negligent one.

[Pterodon]

Exactly

[purplepoppy]

I don't know anything about Baldwin himself but is he a actually trained in handling firearms? If not then it's reasonable to expect him to trust the people who are.

[Pterodon]

Nope. You don’t ever take someone’s word for it

[Pterodon]

He did just that and a woman is dead because he didn’t check it himself

[purplepoppy]

I know you don't, but if he wasn't trained can we expect him to know how to check? At the very least he should have asked for help if he didn't know what he's doing so I say he's guilty

[Pterodon]

Then he shouldn’t have touched it

[richardcory]

Jesus handed me a gun and told me to shoot myself? Seems odd. I mean couldn't he shoot me if he wanted to? Also, how do I know its actually Jesus. I guess if he had already raised me from the dead, it would be a good point in his favor.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Def weird way of phrasing this.

[Pterodon]

He didn’t tell you to shoot yourself. Baldwin was handed a gun and he points and shoots and kills. Why didn’t he check it first?

[ChefPapiChulo]

well i guess we'll leave it to a jury to decide that.

[Pegases]

This is an odd question. But I agree that checking a gun irregardless of who gives it to you, is proper practice.

[SaoirseS]

Check it first, like me and every responsible gun owner was taught.

[Pterodon]

Yep liberals say they want proper training yet proper gun safety training is you don’t trust ANYONE that a gun is safe. You check it yourself first

[BaileyWillow]

I think it's way more sinister than that. I think Baldwin loaded the gun.

[Pterodon]

In a way I do too

[BaileyWillow]

There is just too many things that don't add up. He showed zero remorse while he killed someone. Then he said he didn't even pull the trigger.

[Pterodon]

I know

[exitseven]

I would check it first. I imagine that Jesus would not lie to me , however I am not sure he knows that much about guns.

[Miristheiss]

Why would I ever put it to my head? Even if it is safe... why does that mean I'd put it to my head?

You didn't say Jesus "commanded" me to fire it at my head.

[Sour-rose]

Check it. Many stories I've heard of someone thinking it WAS safe... and it wasn't aaand owie. :c

[AviatorTom]

No I wouldn't. Jesus (pronounced Hay-Zooce) is a Mexican guy who runs a coffee plantation. I wouldn't trust him.

[MementoMori777]

I would know it's Satan because spiritually Satan can hides as an angel of light, Jesus wouldn't do that

[call_me_scar]

I'd hold him hostage and force him to go to child hospital and tell the kids instead of letting them die horrific deaths

[call_me_scar]

Heal* not tell lol

[Anonymous]

If it was actually Jesus, I doubt he would test me in a way more similar to God the Farber, in the Old Testament. ( Abraham and his son)

[Opinion Owner]

Rather, I imagine he'd extend his hand, id extend mine, and I'd just follow him

[_piotr]

Yes! Trust the Lord!

[ChefPapiChulo]

Why would you bring Jesus into this?

[Dargil]

He wouldn't.
