Again.

Whoops!

I do think the cop in the video is more honest than most gun nuts.

"never point a gun at anything or anyone that you aren't willing to destroy."

That is, after all, what they are made for.

Oops

White Settlement boy, 4, dies a week after oven tips over on him

Damned ovens. We should ban them.

My first reaction was "what does the boy's race have to do with anything?" :o

The latest installment of "responsible" gun owners who failed the responsibility test when push came to shove.

Twenty people were found to have accidentally shot themselves; seven people made the news cleaning loaded guns; six law enforcement officers were involved in gun whoopsies; five selfless patriots made their fellow citizens safer by accidentally discharging their weapons while shopping, dining or running other routine errands (and four of them were licensed concealed carriers, supposedly "specially trained" to avoid these things); and five more decided to share their freedom missiles with neighbors. Four others had gun accidents while fiddling with and/or showing off their guns for no particular reason, four practicing at the range accidentally shot themselves or others (in one case, someone half a mile away), two accidentally shot humans while hunting, and two more accidentally shot themselves while producing weapons for what they said was defensive use.

Among the standouts were one of our two patriots who somehow forgot their constant companions and lifelines to freedom, and left them behind. In this case, a Colorado state legislator who left his loaded pistol behind in a canvas bag, underneath the table where he'd been seated for a hearing on expanding concealed carry laws, since concealed carriers are so awesome and safe and stuff.

And how many people accidentally burned themselves on the stove? Whatever. People manage to kill themselves by starting a fire in the fireplace and not opening the flue. I don't really see how people having accidents with guns like humans have accidents with every conceivable item imaginable is some great point that guns, out of all those objects, should have special consideration as especially dangerous.

Shit, my wife's hair dryer has a warning not to use it in the shower. That means some people were retarded enough to do that.

He is just pushing his radical leftist agenda. Nothing you say will change his hatred towards guns. He was probably molested as a child by a gun owning republican christian so he has a burning hatred for these traits.

[Minimalist]

You've convinced me, Rahul. I don't think you should have a stove, either.


Meanwhile.

BOISE, Idaho — TO the chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature:

In light of the bill permitting guns on our state’s college and university campuses, which is likely to be approved by the state House of Representatives in the coming days, I have a matter of practical concern that I hope you can help with: When may I shoot a student?

I am a biology professor, not a lawyer, and I had never considered bringing a gun to work until now. But since many of my students are likely to be armed, I thought it would be a good idea to even the playing field.

Do you turn every discussion to be about yourself? Talk about selfish. Seem kinda rude to project onto Min.

Actually, I'm merely sick of fucking morons who think they have the right to shoot everything that moves. Look in a mirror for an example.


Meanwhile....this might get entertaining.

A Pensacola, FL court is set to decide on Friday whether 24-year-old Keenan Finkelstein is criminally liable for shooting a deputy sheriff in the leg in March of 2013. According to the Pensacola News-Journal, Finkelstein and his defense team are pinning their hopes on the controversial “Stand Your Ground” law.

The whole dynamic will change if cops can get shot, too.
