That is a mod, if the mod was "reject[ing] certain topics outright," this discussion would be over!

Take it upon yourself to educate people! Provide information, discuss actual firearms safety!

Indeed, the "Responsibility" is the shooters, I feel he should lose his "Freedom" for gross negligence or worse!

The person that shot his friend should pay monetarily and punitively for his stupidity; he shunned his "Responsibility;" I didn't.
