Current statistics show Tobacco kills far more than Corona virus. Whatever potential Corona virus supposedly has is a theory nothing more. Even still People don't exactly panic over Tobacco and people still choose to take on the extra risks associated with Nicotine simply for the the high or the experience. People still choose to not wear a mask or get vaccinated for the experience of not putting up with the mask thing or getting vaccinated and taking risks associated with the vaccine depending on your age group etc. It is no different in my reasoning as to why people choose to take extra risk or choose to minimize risk.Tobacco deaths don't have the potential for exponential growth, nor do they have the potential to grow worse on a case by case basis through evolutionary means, for the aforementioned reasons.
There are pockets of safety regarding Covid as we are speaking about vaccinations. Vaccinations help prevent the spread of the disease and so yes there would be pockets of safety relative to the number of vaccinated (I believe this is the general argument you are making so why contest this?). If you want to minimize risk move to a state that simply has more figures regarding vaccinations.A sentiment that doesn't hold true for Covid, for the aforementioned reasons.
Ah ok Mr. expert you don't think there is any time where you shouldn't a wear mask? What about when you are teaching people firearms handling?You say this as if it isn't possible for you to get a free vaccine and wear a mask in public. I can't mitigate the risks involved in dealing with crime, because that would require massive infrastructure change by government that would take years or even decades to accomplish, and in the meantime I still need to go to work. You could get over yourself and wear a mask, and just like that the risk posed to other people who need to do things decreases.
You don't think it is important to be able to hear and see while handling a firearm at a range? What about learning general handling or draw strokes? When you wear a mask a gaiter or anything that forces your breath into yourself you are basically forcing your glasses to fog up and limiting the volume of your speech.
If you teach and people can't hear you because they wear hearing protection and a mask then guess what they can't hear you. If you teach people and they are wearing eye protection then when it fogs up that is one more distraction and means the shooter can't see properly. That is dangerous and stupid to a degree far more than simply not wearing a mask and getting Covid.
I'm far more concerned with people violating gun safety rules than breathing Covid particles on me because I am around 1-2 other people. Use critical thinking and gain perspective this mask nonsense makes people stupid and lose perspective and makes people not consider other things that they should hold more important like gun handling or simply not passing out in a hot car by themselves in a vehicle and hitting a pole and dying.
