    Clearly you have neither spoken to a veteran at length, not are you one yourself. But here, I’ll explain it. The reason you call multiple rules/laws “the first” is because they’re all both equally and critically important.

    Ask multiple veterans what the 1st rule of warfare is, you’ll get multiple different answers. If you then reply with “I thought this other one was the first rule of warfare” they will reply to the effect of “yeah, it is.”

    Because firearms are dangerous tools that serve the singular purpose of killing or destroying a target, any target, and have been from inception to the modern day, every safety rule is just as important as all the others. Ergo, multiple first rules of firearmb safety.

        It’s called personal responsibility. You should learn to accept that some subjects are going to be taken seriously, because they are (literally) life and death circumstances. If you don’t, they’ll just be taken seriously anyways, and you’re the asshole.

        If I had to trust some internet rando with my life, I’d have no qualms choosing @Etterra@lemmy.world .

          Attacking my sense of personal responsibility because I said “can’t have 2 rule number 1’s”?

          It’s not me that looks like the ass but go off, hole!

            No. Not at all. That’s not the comment I replied to.

            Hey bro? Calm down, it was a joke. It’s not that serious. Did you skip your meds today pal?

            Supporting the person who does take it seriously, though, when you make fun of him with that dull take? Absolutely.

              I’d hardly call what I said making fun of him. If you’re that sensitive though, like I said - go off. You won’t hurt my feelings fella.

              There’s nothing wrong with me saying what I said in my original comment. It was lighthearted poking. That’s all.

              Mr serious decided to jump in with the 99 rules of gun safety that I’m an idiot for not nodding along solemnly to.

              Why wouldn’t I jab back? If I were trying to be rude I would have been rude. lol.

              You should take my previous advice and chill. It’s not that serious - once again.

              You’re clearly the dull one here.
