Where do they get these idiots? I mean really, I know a lot of offbeat folks, but have never met anyone that comes close to this level of moronishness.

 

A very sad Darwin. I hate it when the award goes to the undeserving next generation...

 

Wow. There are no words for this, really.

 

RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
RULE II: NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY
RULE III: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET

Stupid fuck ignored Rules 1-3. He deserves to spend time in prison.

 

Oh I bet he is, knowing that in his stupidity, he killed his little girl. He'll suffer that til he dies. Which isn't to say that he doesn't deserve prison and other punishments, just want to point out the other kind.

 

Why is this in here?

 

When I lived in Phoenix a guy shot his baby. The baby was crying and he couldn't console/silence the baby, so he was attempting to fire a shot over it's head with his .44 mag. He shot low, tragically.

Yeah.....a .44 mag fired inside the house is more soothing than a lullaby anyday IMO.

 

A 44 Magnum fired that close to a baby could destroy its hearing permanently. Someone needs to shoot that idiot in the stomach with a 44 Magnum.

 

A 44 magnum to the stomach could destroy an idiot.

 

Why isn't this in the red room?

 

This actually almost happened to me once. When I was 18 I almost shot my best friend in the face. Someone loaded a gun while I was outside. I came back in and jokingly pointed it at his face. For a split second I thought about pulling the trigger, he then grabbed the gun out of my hand and BOOM! it went off. Put a nice hole in the floor... and wall... and ceiling.

 

Did he then proceed to beat you within an inch of your life?

 

^
What for? I didn't shoot him.

Besides HE was the one who loaded the gun.

 

but why did you hold a gun to your best friends face? no one should do that, even if I knew it wasnt loaded.

If that were me, you would no longer be my best friend.

 

For pointing a gun at his head.

 

Yeah. If someone points a gun at me, I shoot them.

At least in theory - no one has ever been stupid enough to point a gun at me.

 

Training is the key. Usually it's young, untrained people who treat weapons like toys and then accidentally shoot someone they care about.

If everyone was trained in firearms safety, incidents and accidents would go down dramatically. That's never going to stop stuff like drunken idiots trying to clean their loaded guns with BA contents thrice the legal limit for driving, but that's why God invented natural selection.

 

you guys and your hobbies!

 

Yeah. You shouldn't run with scissors or knitting needles, either.

 

I think it would be best if you never touched another gun for as long as you live.

You point a gun in someones face, then you better be ready to kill them. Otherwise then you better prepare to have your teeth knocked into your stomach.

 

That's the way I was raised.

 

RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

You deserve to have your dick knocked in the dirt for violating Rules 1 and 2.

 

The guy seems to have been well versed in those four rules but he forgot the fifth rule:

FIREARMS AND ALCOHOL DO NOT MIX

 

You guys keep talking about hitting parallaxis. According to my upbringing and understanding of the law, that's a "fireable" offense.

 

Well I guess you're just some kind of hardass that kills at every opportunity the law allows.

You know what? Maybe you should never touch another gun for as long as you live, too.

 

I've never killed. I hope I never have to. You'd think you would get that this is the interwebz.

 

I guess its just the people I hung out with as a kid. People pointed guns at each other all the time. Some dude I was giving a ride to once jumped out of my car at a stoplight and started firing a gun at a closed gas station. I never did find out why. Never saw him before that night, never saw him after that night.

In my defense THEY had been doing ALOT of other stupid things during the day with the gun WELL before I did my stupid thing.

And actually we were friends for years after that. Although for the rest of that night he was pretty quiet.

They had been running around dry firing the gun, basically acting stupid. So when somebody layed it down I picked it up for my turn.

Its not my fault the dumbass loaded it when I was outside.

Anyhoo, the only reason I didn't pull the trigger was all those little commericals and jingles about 'not pointing a gun at someone cause it might be loaded' were running through the back of my mind somewhere. So I guess those public safety messages really do work. Kept me out of jail for murder.

BTW, I never had my hand on the trigger. And the way he grabbed the gun from me I don't think he had his finger on the trigger either. But the damn thing still went off.


Oh well.. this is the kind of crap that happens when parents go out of town and just leave weapons hidden in sock drawers and closets.

 

I don't believe you now. At all.

You're anti-gun and trying to make folks look bad.
