I have also known my nephew his entire life. In fact I was there at the hospital the day he was born. I have never known him to be careless with any gun. He has taken numerous gun safety courses and owned so many guns I used to joke that his house was a little gun show.
He recently bought an AR 15 at a gun shop. At this particular gun shop you can go in back and test fire the gun before you buy it. He went back, loaded the gun with a few bullets, test fired it, then took it to the front and bought it. He put the gun in his car and drove to his parents home to show them. They were sitting on their front porch which is made of concrete. My nephew had the rifle pointed toward the ground, went to pull back the eject lever, hit the trigger instead. The gun fired, the bullet hit the concrete porch and ricocheted missing his mothers head by inches and hitting the wall of the house behind her.
My nephew sold every gun he had the next day. His house is now a gun free zone.
I don't understand the connection you're trying to make. Are you suggesting my nephew is careless with his guns?
Anyway. Your story still doesn't address the question: How are people to know, if we see a picture on Facebook, that it's ominous and dangerous and the gun is about to be used in a shooting vs. it's posted by someone who wants to show off a gun and is going to the range tonight?
