Obama win triggers run on guns in many stores

I think you are reading what you want to read... we are essentially agreeing that no matter how well trained someone is they can be dangerous if they don't adhere to their training. I qualify twice a year but if I went 5 years without handling a weapon I would still remember basic safety, so it's an individual thing. Like I said all you can do is take reasonable precautions & no matter what you do a certain percentage of people will get hurt... it's basically risk management.

I concur. I didn't have a combat MOS in the Army but after 9 years out of the Army I think could still handle an M-16A2 and qualify (maybe not on the first try). For safety, how hard is it to not have a magazine in the weapon, clear the chamber, safety on and keep it downrange. . . ? There were basics to markmanship- breathing, site picture, posture, trigger squeeze.

ever notice muzzle control tends to be quickly forgotten .. even at the range by some people. now load the firearm (whatever type) and watch ... it can get interesting

not every firearm has a magazine ... or a safety (other than the person) ...

You are arguing about minutiae & I am talking big picture... stop looking at the twigs and see the forest.

you've made my point by avoiding a detail question ... that not all military people are proficient with all firearms hence should not be given the "automatic exclusion" you propose.

What's been decided anyway? Is Obama responsible for an increase in gun sales? Perhaps he should be applauded as retail sales in most areas are plummeting...
