I go to the range a lot and take firearm safety incredibly seriously and it makes me lose my fucking mind at how fucking stupid people are at the range, almost every time I go. Its fucking sickening how many people who own firearms in the US have no control over their ego
If you pick a gun up to stoke your ego, you have already admitted you shouldn't have picked up the gun in the first place since ego does nothing for your accuracy, ability to judge whether you have identified a target, or to reframe your perspective on an unfolding conflict in order to best respond.
Can you imagine what those range idiots who are all jacked up on anger and fear ready to start a fight at a.... gun range (where everybody has a gun...?)... would be like in an actual war? Either they wouldn't be able to handle it or they would get the creepiest fucking smile on their face. Either answer disgusts me because it points out the damning fact that these people are obsessed with violence itself, not the tools and history that surround it, the violence and power trip at the heart of it is the drug for them.
Notice those people and make sure you are always more skilled than they are at whatever they are doing :).
