Always great advice. I think responsible gun ownership is a big contributor to the problems in the US as well, which is still a strange contradiction, because police don't support controls on guns or limitations on the 2nd amendment. Another weird stance the police take.
It's strange but you would think anyone with a gun would know you do NOT point it at anything you do not intend to kill or destroy, but it is common practice for this to happen because so few gun owners have done proper weapons training for the guns they own. I wish there was an education and proficiency requirement for basic gun ownership like there is for a concealed carry permit. Might let potential owners how much responsibility they have in their hands and how bad things can get for just pointing their weapon in someone's direction (assault with a deadly weapon in some jurisdictions). Too restrictive on people's constitutional rights and all.
