That’s a bit of a false equivalence. This guy is, according to his Youtube channel, a shooting instructor. That already means this guy needs to set the example of safe gun use. However, in this video:
- He is firing a handgun while holding it in just one hand. Not impossible, but it’s generally advised to hold a handgun with both hands.
- He is distracted by the trumpet he is playing
This means he doesn’t know where the bullets go exactly. Now, this might have been filmed at some remote area, but seeing as there is a basketball net behind him it seems to not really be that remote. These bullets fly for a fairly long distance to someplace and will remain possibly lethal for that duration. So, yes, this video shows a textbook case of “reckless use of a firearm”.
Even if this was filmed at a shooting range and just outside of the camera’s view is some target to catch the bullets (or the gun is firing blanks) and it was just made to look more reckless than it was, it sets an example that people might replicate in less safe situations. Again, this guy claims to be a shooting instructor and as such needs to set an example.
