15 year old girl killed in a hunting accident.  

Isn't one of the common rules of Gun Safety NOT to hand someone a loaded gun?  These things could be prevented, if only we required some sort of... I don't know licensing and training.  But that's just fucking crazy.  What's next?  Licensing and training required to drive a car?  Pfft!

Um...

Responsible Gun Owner talking about how he carries his gun everywhere, accidentally shoots himself and his wife at church during church shooting discussion.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun. The only thing that can stop an idiot with a gun is himself.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

That story is too funny for a number of reasons.

In the context of a youth hunt you pretty much have to hand the kid a loaded gun.  The alternative is to let them waltz around in the woods with the gun themselves.  A bad idea.  In this case....they were climbing trees with a loaded gun, safety off, and somebody..apparently, grabbed it by the fucking trigger.  This is far more idiotic than handing someone a chambered round.  Were they worried that the deer might attack on their descent or something..had to keep their rifle at the ready for a counterassualt?

I find that stories like these commonly employ euphemisms like "went off" or "handed x a gun" and "accident"..effectively masking how stupid, and criminal, the whole sorry affair actually was.  Sounds like manslaughter to me.  If I was the girls father, I'd be contemplating a "tragic accident" of my own involving the "family friend".  I somehow doubt that the law, or society, would grant me the sort of leniency that we routinely parse out for "accidental" shootings.  

I've never accidentally shot a thing in my fucking life.  I don't believe that it's possible.  The mechanics of it are too ridiculous to entertain as an actual thing that happens.  People -negligently- shoot things, and get negligently shot..however....with some regularity.

There ought to be something like negligent homicide or involuntary manslaughter that the dumb shit can be charged with. Someone is dead because of this dumb shit.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

This whole things is dumb. Guns are tools for putting holes in people. We want to reduce the numbers of holes put in people. The answer-- more guns.

Logical.

Quote:Mistaken for deer, New York woman shot dead

Quote:According to the deputies, a man present at the scene of the accident said he saw a deer in a field after which he fired a single shot at the animal. However, a few seconds later he heard a scream, and upon reaching the place about 200 yards away, he was shocked to discover an injured woman. He then called 911 and informed the police.

Happened to me once back in the 70s.

I was on a mini-bike and hunter didn't properly lead for my speed otherwise it would have been a game over for your vorlon, 45 years ago. They see motion, they shoot. Find out what it is later.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
