This isn’t a news story. It’s pure entertainment in the SMH vein. \u00a0The genius in the NSFW video above calls himself “40 Glocc.” \u00a0No, that’s not his SASS nickname. \u00a0It’s his rap alias.<\/p>\n
One would think that if one sports the handle “40 Glocc” that one’s core competency would be shooting .40 caliber polymer pistols, mainly Glocks.<\/p>\n
Yet, it becomes abundantly clear based on the footage that 40 Glocc\u00a0has no idea how to safely handle nor shoot a firearm.<\/p>\n
In addition to muzzle sweeping bystanders, 40 Glocc literally misses his target numerous times and then blames it on the cameraman.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy you keep coming up in my face like that?\u201d the rapper asks the cameraman.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m trying not to get shot,\u201d replies the friend. \u201cYou shooting the ground man, there\u2019s shit flying up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ugh. \u00a0After a few more attempts at the target, 40 Glocc\u00a0asks the cameraman if he hit the target.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it fell over,” says the cameraman. \u00a0Not from a hit, though. \u00a0Most likely it was knocked over by a gust of wind.<\/p>\n
There’s no doubt that rappers celebrate gun ownership. They write about it, rap about it and sing about it. \u00a0But for most, that’s where their\u00a0interest\u00a0ends.<\/p>\n
The majority of rappers, it seems, have no handle on what it means to be a responsible gun owner, what it means to store guns properly, what it means to follow the rules of firearms safety, what it means to practice basic shooting techniques covering stance, grip, trigger control, sight picture, etc.<\/p>\n
It’s a shame, too. \u00a0Because like it or not rappers have a significant cultural influence on younger generations. \u00a0Were they to act more responsibly with their treatment of firearms, it would probably carry over to their fans and followers who would, in turn, be more inclined to treat firearms with respect as opposed to toys to be waived around and carried and fired recklessly.<\/p>\n
But I suppose expecting rappers to act responsibly is like expecting politicians to tell the truth. \u00a0It just ain’t going to happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
