Shame on the NRA for ignoring gun safety

[Straw Man]

6. Oh really?

They also teach a course for adults needed in some states to get a toting permit. Much of the course teaches them what to say to police if they pull a George Zimmerman. That part is under the guise of teaching toters when they can whip out their gun and kill or intimidate someone.

Do you mean like these excerpts from the textbook?

"As has been stated many times in this book, deadly force should be used only as a last resort, when other options, such as deterrence, avoidance or flight, are no longer available."

"You should not show your firearm to deter a person who simply might attack you, or who you merely find threatening; that may result in being charged with brandishing. You are justified in displaying a firearm only in those situations in which firing your handgun would also be justified--situations in which there is a real threat to your life or the lives of your family or other innocent persons."

"In practical terms, it is always preferable, from both a legal and safety viewpoint, to call the police and let them handle a situation."

"A concealed carry permit gives you the right to carry a handgun on your person for the purpose of defending yourself from an attack you may innocently encounter, not to seek out and confront criminals."

Yeah, they're practically begging people to blow somebody away, amirite?
