Guns are powerful and must be respected.

Possessing a gun requires great responsibility to make sure it is used and stored appropriately.

Never reach for a gun out of anger.

Hotheads that don't respect the destructive power of their weapons put others in danger. Nobody wants to hunt or shoot with such people.


So, yeah, I don't see the outrage over his comments. Lots of people with guns didn't have these lessons passed down to them, and they're lessons worth hearing (and being reminded of).

Just my two cents.
