The Spin
Left narrative
It's not difficult to see how making deadly weapons easier to use and more readily available to the general public could have catastrophic consequences. Gaston Glock's company has rightly been referred to as "merchants of death." What makes this name all the more fitting is the nonchalant confession by Glock's former lawyer that mass shootings were a "sensational marketing tool." Glock's quiet lifestyle cannot deny the horrific impacts on societies that his company and products had.
Right narrative
Glock handguns should not be scapegoated — they in fact come with a host of important safety features. These advances have helped to reduce accidental discharges. In fact, negligence, insufficient training, and, most importantly, "unsafe" persons are responsible for gun deaths. Gaston Glock deserves to be given due respect and justly recognized for his role in advancing the development of small arms in a responsible way.
