Irresponsible and careless gun owners?

That is a major problem that I see is that many gun owners and users do not take the fact that a guns, cars and whatever are not toys but are inherently dangerous and should be used with care. As the story posted said the "guards" were handling their weapons in a careless manner i.e. fingers on the trigger. I don't doubt they were aware that they were pointing the muzzle at themselves and others.

I guess they didn't have 10 rules of gun safety drilled into them at an early age, unlike myself. Rule 1 all guns are loaded. Last rule - see rule 1, regardless of what you "know" all guns are loaded.
