          Calling an unloaded gun loaded, is not responsible. With peoples willingness to deduct dangerous theories, they will conclude that if a gun is loaded even when its not, then i can as well keep it loaded at all times.

              Specifically to prevent people from using a real gun as a toy or prop and blowing their or someone else’s brains out because they thought it was unloaded. Effectively to treat all guns as loaded, just in case they actually are.
