It's been a while since The Daily Kos published a compilation like this. They should work harder although this one has a somewhat "humorous" tone...

But this (#35) is my favorite.
An Amish boy with a revolver? Stick to muzzle loaders like the good lord intended, son.

Quote:What are they teaching people about basic gun safety at the nation’s gun ranges these days, anyway? Well, whatever they were teaching at the OK Corral Shooting Club in Okeechobee, Florida, couldn’t have helped much. Not when a competitive shooter there became so excited after his performance that he accidentally shot himself in the thigh while attempting to “bust a move” in a celebratory dance. Nor was it any better at the highly esteemed Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, New Hampshire, when a trainee accidentally shot himself in the leg while holstering his gun. (This is the second time the gun manufacturer’s own training academy has made our GunFAIL lists.) So, how do you top accidentally shooting yourself at a gun manufacturer’s training facility? Why, you shoot yourself at NRA headquarters, of course! As a NRA employee, no less! Just like our trainee in Epping, this victim accidentally shot himself in the leg while holstering his weapon during a training session at their on-site range.
Accidentally shooting yourself at the training range at NRA headquarters has got to be the topper, I would think. What a week! Thanks, gun experts! Keep on keeping us all safe!
