Quote:‘Whites don’t kill whites’: One man, one woman die in Kentucky supermarket shooting – police

Quote:Zinninger said the shooter casually walked toward his father in the parking lot with a gun in his hand. He said his father took out his gun and confronted the man from behind his car.

“He (the armed man) said, ‘please don’t shoot and I won’t shoot you,’ whites don’t kill whites,” Zinninger told Wave3 News, adding that his father said the armed man then took off in a car.

Because it seems that racism trumps goodness among gun nuts.  But we already knew that.

But he was wearing a safety vest, so he's clearly one of those responsible gun owners.

I don't claim to be a firearms expert, but isn't looking down the barrel of a misfired shotgun a manifestly idiotic thing to do?

I've never fired a gun in my life and I know you don't look down the barrel of a weapon that has misfired.

You point it at the cameraman.

It's kind of like he was thinking, 'Gosh, I pulled the trigger, there should be a bullet coming out.  Let me look and see if it's on the way...'

Looking down the barrel of a loaded gun that HASN'T misfired is not highly recommended.  That moron needs to dig out his MAGA hat.

Mom and Son, 10, Allegedly Killed by Her Boyfriend
A Texas man accused of killing his live-in girlfriend and her 10-year-old son allegedly claimed he shot them in self-defense after they assaulted him for changing the television channel.

PEOPLE obtained the arrest report for Tyrone Terell Johnson, a 42-year-old Marines veteran who allegedly called 911 Sunday evening and said he’d killed two people “because he was being attacked.”

The arrest report states Johnson — charged with first-degree felony murder, second-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and shooting into or within a building — told police who responded to the Tampa home of 34-year-old Stephanie Ann Willis that the woman and her son, Ricky Willis, began screaming at him after he changed the channel to a football game.

Johnson allegedly said that amid the bickering, he went to the bedroom to pack his things to leave. According to the arrest report, Johnson claimed Stephanie, his girlfriend of a year, followed him and continued to “verbally berate him.”

Nothing has changed, though.

Quote:Indiana boy, 2, back home after accidental shooting by 3-year-old brother

I know I'm going to get shit for this, but I have to say, really, 
it's time for a modicum of sensible gun control.

Three years old is just too young for responsible gun ownership; 
I'd support raising the legal age to at least four; maybe even five.    

3 yos are not legal gun owners. The legal gunowner left the gun where the child could find it. I used to live in Grant Co., at the corner of Corn and Alfalfa.

They probably sell guns in toy stores in Indiana.
