Ahhh, Thanksgiving, always bringing people together, especially family…lol.

Plus, I think most of the media has a pandemic sized case of hoplophobia (Fear of Firearms). They seem to think that firearms walk, talk and shoot by themselves.

And Hollywood doesn't help. They recklessly portray firearm incompetence regularly. They break the following rules all the time:

• Trigger discipline .
  -- (keeping your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire).
• Keep the weapon pointed down range.
  -- Keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction, don't point it at anything you don't want to kill.
• Impulse control
  -- De-escalation techniques, and if you have to shoot, check your targets, check your background). Hollywood is always shooting up everything, because they always go to the gun first, and there's an incredible amount of collateral damage for effect. And Hollywood is filled with hoplophobes…they hate guns, but they love profiting from gun violence…lol.

The accidental discharges that I have seen, most of the time, it had to do with people resting their finger on the trigger when holding it.

Anyway, that said, I love Monopoly!
