I’d appreciate gun owners pledging something other than “cold, dead fingers.” For example,<\/p>\n
I pledge to practice gun safety at all times.
\nI pledge to keep my guns holstered or locked up when not in use.
\nI pledge to hunt for food, not solely for sport.
\nI pledge to aim my gun at a person only if I feel they may kill me or a loved one.
\nI pledge never to point a gun to intimidate, as a threat or a joke.
\nI pledge never to touch a gun in anger or rage.
\nI pledge empathy for those who fear or dislike guns.
\nI pledge to keep my guns out of the hands of others, unless they also pledge these things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
