No, just a few words. I see a clear division regarding the two different camps on this - one camp are "gun guys", the other camp are not. "Gun guys" will absolutely never accept, under any circumstances, the "Hollywood approach" to gun safety that the non-gun guys appear comfortable with. You know, the approach that resulted in this woman's needless death.

That is where I am at with it anyway, and it does not make a bit of sense to me.
Me neither. Seconds, mere seconds to check that gun. It just boggles the mind the lengths to which some will go to justify not spending those several seconds. Several seconds that would have saved that woman's life. Incredible.
